FAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! This!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this shit back in May. The very next morning I started jogging with this playing in the earphones. Could barely get a few blocks without being winded. Now I'm up to three miles jogging. Joined a better gym and everything. I still play this each morning I run!
I lost it on this one. Keep beating myself up for failing...didn't realize it's part of the process
great thread!

Ditto.
I remember Ebony magazines used to fuel me.
Seeing stories of former slaves learning to read at age 45 and going on to earn Phds etc.
Got me to dream about having a tech theory named after me
Can you post stuff like that fam?

Executive summary: First African-American PhD
American physicist Edward Bouchet was the first African American to earn an advanced academic doctorate (PhD) in any field at any college or university in the United States. He attended local schools in New Haven, Connecticut, and entered Yale in 1870, where his father — who had been born a slave — worked as a janitor. Bouchet earned his Bachelor's degree summa cum laude in 1874, ranking sixth in his class of 124, and became the first African-American to be nominated Phi Beta Kappa[1]. With financial support from Philadelphia philanthropist Alfred Cope (1806-1875), Bouchet continued his studies, and earned his PhD in the nascent field of physics from Yale in 1874. His field of research was geometrical optics, and his dissertation was titled “On Measuring Refractive Indices.”
A white man with Bouchet's academic credentials would have been welcomed virtually anywhere in academia, but in the 1870s no major or minor college or university in America would consider letting a "colored" man teach or conduct research, and none of the era's few all-Black colleges and universities offered advanced physics as part of the curriculum. Bouchet spent most of his career teaching chemistry, math, and introductory physics at the Institute for Colored Youth, a high school for black students in Philadelphia, and lost this job in 1902, when the school dropped its science curriculum to become a vocational training school. In 1913 he was named a professor at Bishop College, an all-Black college in Dallas, but his tenure there was brief, as he developed arteriosclerosis and died in 1918.

Bouchet was also among 20 Americans (of any race) to receive a Ph.D. in physics and was the sixth to earn a Ph. D. in physics from Yale
^^ Thanks kaya.
