NASA's Washington, D.C., headquarters will soon bear the name of Mary Jackson, the agency's first African American female engineer and a driving force behind getting U.S. astronauts into space. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine announced the move in a statement released Wednesday. "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," he said. #Trailblazer #gamechanger #rolemodel #blackhistory #hiddenfigures #empoweringwomen #NASA #stem #womenengineers #barrierbreaker #pioneer - #regrann (at Duke Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6n_BBHu7d/?igshid=jzxclqgqx0nr
