Highlighting Women's History Month -Katherine Johnson was born in 1918, in West Virginia. She first started attending high school at age 10, and by age 18, she had graduated from West Virginia State with highest honors. In 1939, she was chosen to be one of the first African American students to enroll in a graduate program for mathematics at West Virginia University. In 1953, Johnson began working at NACA’s West Area Computing unit: a group of African-American women whose computations were key components in the success of the early U.S. space program. Johnson was also a member of the Space Task Group at NASA. In 1960, she co-authored a paper with one of the group’s engineers- the first occasion that a woman in her division got credit for writing a research report. In 1961, she calculated the path for Freedom 7, the spacecraft that put the first U.S. astronaut in space, and was part of the rocket science team for the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, which sent the first three men to the Moon. For her work, she earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, a building in her name from NASA, and was written about in Hidden Figures by Margot Lee.

Highlighting Women's History Month: Bessie Blount Griffin was an African American nurse, inventor and physical therapist. Most well known for her help with rehabilitating World War II veterans, in particular she helped those who were disabled to readjust to life in the stateside. She began to work on inventing an electronic feeding tube for people who had lost limbs. Then Bessie donated her invention to the French government which was used in military hospitals worldwide. She continued on to fight for desegregation of state-supported institutions. She wrote columns for New Jersey Herald News and Philadelphia Independent and joined NAACP doing public relations work. In 1969, she began to work as a forensic scientist for police departments of Vineland, Norfolk and Portsmouth. She assumed the role of chief document examiner until 1972 and later became the first American woman ever accepted into advanced studies at the Document Division of Scotland in the United Kingdom. For the next twenty years, she ran her own forensic science consulting business in the US examining active court cases, historical records, and civil war documents. Bessie Blount Griffin was an inspiration to us and we must continue to honor the impact she has had on so many people’s lives.

Highlighting Women's History Month:
The historic induction of Kamala Harris as the first female, Black, and Asian Vice President into office this year is a reminder that our country is willing to give women with diverse backgrounds more respect than in the past. President Joe Biden picked Harris to run alongside him while also assembling a menagerie of intersectional Cabinet member picks, including Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American Cabinet member in history, the first woman to be Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, the first woman to be Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, and the first woman of color to be US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, among many others. However, these landmark firsts also bring to mind the fact that America’s highest governmental positions should not have been possessed solely by white men from its birth until 2021. There is still much work to be done in order to successfully break down the systemic sexist and racist blockades of the gender-and-race-based pay gap and to further grow the essential intersectional feminist movements of today, so that America’s population will live in an equitable and barrier-free society in the future.
Tomorrow, we will start our highlights of influential intersectional women of history with Bessie Blount Griffin. Stay tuned!

It's Wellness Wednesday!-
What is Wellness Wednesday?
Wellness Wednesdays give us an opportunity to reflect on and focus on our health and well-being. This is a practice that is happening at schools, workplaces and communities all over. We are excited to bring it to ARHS!
Each Wednesday in the announcements, we will highlight an activity, a skill, a resource focused on bringing awareness to building healthy habits and focusing on our physical, & emotional wellness. We hope these are meaningful for you!
We also welcome ANYONE (teachers, staff, students, entire classes, clubs, etc!) to reach out to share ideas and tips, too. Email Ms. Peters @ petersk@arps.org

This week our Wellness Wednesday Tip is: Give yourself a Shout Out!
It can be easy as we go through our days to forget to pay attention to things we've done throughout the day that are AWESOME. This week, we challenge you to spend a few minutes each day and think of at least 1 thing you've done during the day that you are proud of. Why is this important? Well, it's easy to focus on the negative, (our brains are actually wired this way.. it's called the Negativity Bias) This can affect us in BIG WAYS, as you can imagine.
Taking a few minutes each day to point out for yourself a SPECIFIC thing you did that was helpful & positive can help us fight back against this negativity bias and help us see things that we may miss.
Try it right now. Do it every day. And notice its impact. I bet you will find a bit of a SPRING in your STEP after a few days.

Highlighting Women's History Month:
In United States history, black women were often discriminated against in both the Black Liberation Movement and the Women's Movement of the 20th century. They faced sexism from many black men, as Elaine Brown recalls the "rules" of the Black Congress: "Sisters... did not challenge Brothers. Sisters... stood behind their black men, supported their men, and respected them." Within the feminist movement of the 1960s, racism took the form of exclusion, and white women were often unwilling to recognize their racism, believing that the oppressed cannot oppress others. Black women, instead of burdening themselves with re-educating black men and white women, forged their own Black Feminist Movement, marked by the 1973 founding of the National Black Feminist Organization in New York. Alice Walker coined the term "Womanist" to describe the movement, emphasizing self-determination, appreciation for all aspects of womanhood, and the commitment to the survival of both men and women. This movement brought to light the intersectionality of racism, sexism, classism and heterosexism, and pushed feminist theory to be far more encompassing of these ideas today.

For the month of March, Women’s Rights Club will be honoring various women from history who have made important contributions to gender equality and society as a whole. This is directly following POCU’s fantastic Black History Month series. For the next couple days, we will highlight why intersectionality of race and gender issues is essential, and how feminist movements have succeeded and failed in including women of color.
While white women make 79 cents to a white man’s 1 dollar, Black women make 62 cents, Native women make 56 cents, and Latina women make 54 cents. Jobs like nursing, caregiving, and teaching are made up of predominantly women of color, and not coincidentally tend to be lower-paying jobs. 80% of Black women are the sole or primary breadwinners for their households. Women of color are also significantly underrepresented in executive positions and other higher-paying positions in the average workplace.

Maceo Snipes-
Maceo Snipes, a US Army veteran, was the first African American to vote in a democratic primary in Taylor County, Georgia in 1946. Just hours after he voted, four white men pulled up outside of his grandfather’s house and asked his mother to call him outside. The men confronted Snipes and then one of the men shot Snipes in the back. All of the men were alleged members of the KKK, which was then in its prime. After the men left, Snipes and his mother walked to the owner of the land they were sharecropping, Homer Chapman. Chapman then helped them walk 3 miles to the hospital. The hospital staff would not treat Snipes until 6 hours later and by then he needed a blood transfusion. The staff then claimed that they did not have any ‘black blood’ and so 2 days later, Maceo Snipes died on July 20, 1946. During the follow up investigation, the shooter, Edward Williamson claimed that he had confronted Snipes about a $10 debt owed to him, that Snipes pulled a knife on him and that’s why he shot him twice in the back in self defense. The jury accepted this and declared Williamson’s murderous act justified.

Claudette Colvin- Claudette Colvin was born on September 5th, 1939, in Montgomery, Alabama. Claudette wore her hair in cornrows and considered herself militant. On March 2, 1955, Claudette was arrested at the age of 15 in Montgomery, Alabama for refusing to give her seat up to a white woman on a crowded bus, 9 months before Rosa Parks, secretary for the NAACP, was arrested for the same offense. Claudette wasn't credited for it and her story has been forgotten because she was 15 and pregnant. She didn’t look the way some in the NAACP thought she should and many thought that she wouldn't be the right face for the movement. Claudette was also one of the 5 women plaintiffs who initiated the case Browder v. Gayle, which aimed to desegregate busses in Alabama. On June 5, 1956, the US District Court for Alabama issued a ruling that public bus segregation was unconstitutional. State and local officials appealed the case to the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court affirmed the District Court decision and on December 20, 1956, the court ordered Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation permanently. After winning the court case, Claudette was branded a troublemaker by some in the city so ultimately, she moved to New York City in 1958 and found a job as a nurse. She worked in a Manhattan nursing home and retired after 35 years there. She is now 81. A moment in black history brought to you by Fatma Abdel Maksoud Tomorrow, we will highlight Maceo Snipes

Edward Alexander Bouchet –
Edward Bouchet was the son of a former slave and was born in New Haven, CT. Despite having very limited educational opportunities as a youth, he earned admittance to Yale and became the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in 1874 and was ranked 6th in his class. He was among the first 20 Americans of any race to receive a Ph.D. in Physics, the 6th at Yale. Because of racism, Dr. Bouchet was unable to find a University teaching position. He moved to Philadelphia in 1876 and began teaching at Philadelphia’s Institute for Colored Youth (which is now Cheyney University) for 26 years. He spent another 14 years teaching at the high school and college levels. He served as an inspiration to generations of Black Youth. Dr. Bouchet died in his childhood home in New Haven in 1918 at 66 years old.

Bishop John Hurst Adams-
John Hurst Adams (1927-2018) was born in Columbia, South Carolina into a family of civil rights activists, with his father who organized the first Negro bank in Columbia and the first statewide civil rights organization in South Carolina. Looking up to his father’s work, Adams wanted to continue the fight with his own work. In 1962, Adams went to Seattle as pastor of First African Methodist Episcopal Church and began his ascent as a national leader. He became a leader of the civil rights movement in Seattle and earned respect by both the black and white community. Due to his articulate assessment of the race problems and passionate belief in the potential of the city, he became the key spokesperson for black people during the height of the movement in Seattle. He founded and chaired many organizations like the Central Area Civil Rights Committee, CORE, the NAACP, the Seattle Urban League, the Central Area Motivation Program (country’s first war on poverty agency) and the Congress of National Black Churches. In 1963, he led a march for equal employment, an open housing ordinance in 1964, and a school boycott to force integration in the Seattle Public Schools. In 1972, he was appointed Bishop of the Tenth Episcopal District in Texas and he continued his work on fighting for civil rights by escorting a student to integrate the Waco Public School and supporting student protests to integrate all facilities in Waco, Texas. When he died on January 10th, 2018, he left a lasting legacy in the city of Seattle and the rest of the country with his work and his passion to acquire equal rights for all A moment in Black History brought to you by Benito Marinero-Rodriguez Tomorrow, we will highlight Edward Bouchet
