Dr. Euphemia Haynes was the first Black woman to earn a PhD in mathematics (1943). For 47 years, she taught in the public schools of Washington, DC. In 1966, became the first woman to chair the DC Board of #Education. She was born #OTD in 1890. #WomenInSTEM #EduSky
Classy black-and-white studio portrait of Dr. Euphemia Lofton Haynes (1890–1980), a pioneering educator and the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics. She faces forward with a serene, dignified, and intelligent expression. Her dark eyes look directly past the viewer, accompanied by a soft, composed, closed-mouth smile that conveys warmth, resilience, and authority. Her graying hair is meticulously styled upwards in elegant, soft curls, framing her face cleanly.She wears a simple, dark, V-neck dress or blouse, accessorized with a prominent, polished metallic link necklace that follows her neckline and a single matching pearl or button earring visible on her right ear. The backdrop is a neutral, solid studio gradient that transitions smoothly from light grey to dark grey, completely focusing attention on her. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the front of her face while leaving a gentle shadow on her left cheek, adding depth and texture to the portrait. The overall mood is deeply respectful, formal, and timelessly professional. This image carries profound historical significance, representing a trailblazing woman who dismantled racial and gender barriers in academia. Beyond her historic 1943 doctoral degree from the Catholic University of America, Dr. Haynes spent forty years reforming the Washington, D.C., public school system, fiercely advocating for integration and quality education for all students.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

They cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICE
After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

Donald Trump and Republicans want you to think they’re bringing back the “Golden Age” of economic prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s. But in reality, they’re dragging us toward something else — the Gilded Age of the 1890s. Watch.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
