I appreciate Mamie P. Clark because her doll test was instrumental in Brown v. Board, which is a law case I am very familiar with. It proved that segregation did affect the self-image of many black children. Additionally, Clark was a social psychologist, and I find that sector of science to be particularly interesting.

I think it's due to a lot of deep-rooted stigma against black people in terms of invalidating their research and not taking their work seriously just because they're black. Not only this, education was really difficult for black people to obtain due to segregation and finances. More specifically, black women were more underrepresented and overshadowed due to the fact that they're a woman in a STEM field which is a "masculine" field and due to them being black. It's genuinely really frustrating and sad because for instance, Clark's work was overshadowed by her husband. In short, it's due to internalized stigma and stereotypes that were historically deep rooted.

What really shocked me about these articles was how I barely recognized any of the names when they literally contributed to so much in the scientific field and without them we would not have the amount of research and advancements we have now. For example, I did not know Mamie Phipps Clark's research was used in the groundbreaking Brown v. Board of Education case. If it weren't for her, I don't think segregation would've stopped in schools and there wouldn't have been that much emphasis on how such conditions affect children. I was only familiar with the doll experiment but I never knew it was her that made the experiment and honestly I'm glad I do now. That doll experiment is so important today like I still think of it now.

I relate with this because initially I thought my life's calling was becoming the president of the USA but now I want to have a major in entrepreneurship with a minor in psychology :). I really relate to her career change. I love working with people and want to help people as well! Her work and contributions to disabled children warms my heart because I feel like there isn't enough done for disabled children so it was really sweet seeing that! :)

Sexism and racism are the reasons why science has been historically a profession for white men. Women and people of color were considered inferior to white men. Women were supposed to stay home and take care of the kids following the cult of domesticity. Following the racist and sexist expectation that women and people of color are less capable and intellectual than white men. According to that standard, white men were the only ones with the ability to partake in the science field. Even if there were women or people of color in this field it was not documented or publicized and because of it to this day it is still viewed as a field that is predominantly white men. In addition people of color and women do not get the same opportunities as white men in terms of schooling and occupation.

I was amazed with everything that Dr. Jane Wright and her family have accomplished, but I was extremely disappointed and upset that their work is not as well known. Dr. Jane Wright and her family was a major influence in getting patients rights, advancing cancer treatment, and was an overall inspiration for women and people of color in the medical field, but it was not until this activity that I learned about their names. I also realized how strong black people are. After enduring and still having to face racism and discrimination, Dr. Jane Wright did not put blame on the racial prejudice. Instead she allows her work to speak for her.

I think that science and chemistry has been categorized as a profession for white men because of how hard it is to access for minority groups. A lot of times white neighborhoods will have better schools and in turn also be able to have good science and chemistry programs.

After reading these articles I realized how little coverage these African American scientists get. As important and mainstream Mae Jemison was, I still found it hard to find websites and sources that looked academic or reliable.

I think I can appreciate Mae Jemison's story the most. This is because I think that she went through some big challenges.

Reinforcements of oppressive institutions like segregation and the patriarchy throughout history have limited access to the higher education necessary for science and its related field to a select few.

I was most impacted by the harrowing experiences that Katherine Johnson had to go through. In a white male dominated field, even having the opportunity to learn math was difficult as the county Johnson’s family lived in did not offer high school education to African Americans.

I think science had been historically categorized as a white profession due to racism and stereotypes. Black men are typically seen as having a smaller intelligence they did used to be slaves so were therefore given little to no education.

I appreciated the story about Annie Easley the most, because I felt like she definitely deserves much more recognition than she gets.

Due to the predominate belief throughout most of history at the time, white men tended to have the most opportunities and the most ability due to factors such as industrialization, which resulted in mainly white people being able to be taught the most modern technologies at the time, which meant that they tended to be the ones pushing the boundaries of what we could do.
