We remember Karen Silkwood, a lab technician and mother of three from Texas who would not stay quiet when she believed the people around her were in danger.
She was a straight A student who loved chemistry. In 1972 she took a job at the Kerr McGee plutonium plant near Crescent, Oklahoma. Two years later she became the first woman elected to her union’s bargaining committee there. Her job was to look into health and safety. What she found frightened her: workers exposed to contamination, faulty respirators, and company records she believed had been falsified.
She took her concerns straight to the Atomic Energy Commission. Weeks later, she tested positive for plutonium contamination, and so did her own home.
On the night of November 13, 1974, she drove alone toward Oklahoma City to meet a New York Times reporter. She never arrived. Her car was found wrecked against a concrete culvert. The documents she had carried that evening were nowhere to be found.
No one has ever fully explained what happened on that dark Oklahoma road. But her fight did not end there. Her family carried it all the way to the United States Supreme Court,and they won.
She was 28 years old. She had a notebook, a folder of papers, and a conscience that refused to bend. She spent her last night trying to bring the truth into the light.

Happy 70th Birthday to Dr. Mae Jemison!
In 1992, Dr. Jemison made history as the first Black woman to travel to space aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Before becoming an astronaut, she was already a physician and had served as a medical officer with the Peace Corps in West Africa.
Since leaving NASA, she's continued working in science, technology, and education, encouraging more young people, especially girls and students of color, to explore careers in STEM.
Here's to Dr. Mae Jemison, who showed generations of young Black girls that they belong in every space, even beyond Earth!
