Mary Jackson (engineer)
- ... that Mary Jackson (pictured) became the first black female engineer at NASA after successfully petitioning the City of Hampton, Virginia, to allow her to attend required graduate courses at a whites-only school? Source: [1]
- ALT1:... that Mary Jackson (pictured) was the first black female engineer at NASA? Source: [2]
- Reviewed: James N. Post III
- Comment: I added the alternate in case the first one is too wordy, though I think the longer version adds more interesting context.
Improved to Good Article status by GorillaWarfare (talk). Self-nominated at 01:32, 18 January 2017 (UTC).
New enough (promoted to Good Article status on January 17, 2017), long enough (5,206 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced . Hook fine (198 characters being < 200 characters), supported by online source; ALT1 hook fine, supported by online source, but main hook preferred per nominator's request. QPQ done. Image has appropriate licence. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:47, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
