4. Dr. Clarence Ellis (1943-2014) was the first African-American to earn a PhD in computer science. Among many contributions, he’s well-known for his pioneering work in groupware and operational transformation, which enabled real-time collaborative editing of documents in products like Google Docs

3. Dr. Shirley Jackson (1946-Present) was the first black woman to earn a doctorate degree at MIT. And it’s crazy to think she was still a child when the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) Supreme Court decision opened up public schools to all students regardless of race or ethnicity.
