On Friday, NASA is broadcasting a special ceremony marking the renaming of the agency’s headquarters building in Washington D.C. in honor of the late Mary W. Jackson, whose historic work as a mathematician and aerospace engineer was documented in Margot Lee Shetterly’s book
Jackson started her career with NASA in the segregated West Area Computing Unit of the Langley Research Center in Virginia before going on to lead programs that had far-reaching impacts on the hiring and promotion of women in the agency’s science, tech, engineering, and mathematics careers. In 2019, 14 years after her death at the age of 83, Jackson was posthumously honored with the Congressional Gold Medal.
