Another hidden figure, now standing boldly in the light...Dorothy Jean Johnson Vaughan was the first respected Black female manager at NASA, thus creating a long-lasting legacy for diversity in mathematics and science. As one of the first female coders in the field who knew how to code FORTRAN, she was able to instruct other Black women on the coding language and paved a wave of female programmers to integrate their work into NASA’s systems. She was a graduate of the illustrious Wilberforce University, class of 1929.
