Jim Crow laws which required newly-hired "colored" mathematicians to work separately from their white female counterparts. Dorothy Vaughan was assigned to the segregated "West Area Computing" unit, a black group of female mathematicians, who were originally required to use separate dining and bathroom facilities. ]]> 2017-04-06 16:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3062659/e0t41v5e86s9/wish/165189368 3062659 https://padlet.com/3062659/e0t41v5e86s9/wish/165193758 http://www.farmvilleherald.com/2017/01/from-moton-to-nasa/

She was a Manager of NASA and mathmatican. Being a math teacher at Russa Moton High school,  while being in the mist of WW2 she decided to take a temporary job in the war. That temporary job turned into a long term job and in 1949 was promoted tobeing a leader of the NACA. She was the first black supervisor in the NACA. Being the section leader gave Dorothy rare Laboratory-wide visibility, and she collaborated with other known (white) computers like Vera Huckel and Sara Bullock on projects such as making a handbook for algebraic methods for calculating machines. Dorothy was with west computing for nearly a decade.]]> 2017-04-06 16:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3062659/e0t41v5e86s9/wish/165196562
