NASA Names Headquarters After ‘Hidden Figure’ Mary W. Jackson​
​

Mary W. Jackson started her NASA career in the segregated West Area Computing Unit of the agency’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Jackson, a mathematician and aerospace engineer, went on to lead programs influencing the hiring and promotion of women in NASA's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. In 2019, she was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
​
“Mary W. Jackson was part of a group of very important women who helped NASA succeed in getting American astronauts into space. Mary never accepted the status quo, she helped break barriers and open opportunities for African Americans and women in the field of engineering and technology,” said Bridenstine. “Today, we proudly announce the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters building. It appropriately sits on ‘Hidden Figures Way,’ a reminder that Mary is one of many incredible and talented professionals in NASA’s history who contributed to this agency’s success. Hidden no more, we will continue to recognize the contributions of women, African Americans, and people of all backgrounds who have made NASA’s successful history of exploration possible.”

Mary Harris Jones

The most famous female labor activist of the nineteenth century, Mary Harris Jones--aka “Mother Jones”--was a self-proclaimed “hell-raiser” in the cause of economic justice. She was so strident that a US attorney once labeled her “the most dangerous woman in America.”

Jones made it her mission to stand up for the rights of the children who worked in factories and mills under horrible conditions in the early 1900’s.

Passing of a Founder

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of one of the founders of our great Union. Mrs. Richie Coleman Scott (pictured third from left in second row), was one of a group of Administrators who took on the "David vs. Goliath" fight of breaking away from PGCEA. Administrators who were tired of being treated as Second class members of the Union that represented Teachers first. 

Mrs. Scott was a strong Union supporter throughout her career and beyond. She was a beloved Educator whose former students would stop her on the street to thank her for helping, and in some cases, saving them. She was a wonderful friend, and a beautiful person. She will be missed.

Paid sick leave becomes law in MD

The legislation allows workers at companies with 15 workers or more to earn up to five days a year of paid sick leave, which they could also use for such matters as going to court to obtain a protective order against domestic violence or dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. A worker will be able to earn an hour of sick leave for every 30 hours they work. It will benefit about 700,000 Maryland workers. Read the Washington Post report here
