Story: Her artwork is inspired by American computer programmer and mathematician Dorothy Vaughan.  Making significant contribution to the early U.S. space program, she was also the first Black American supervisor at NACA.  A role she would continue to hold up to and beyond its merger with NASA's diverse workforce.  A brilliant, dedicated, trailblazing pioneer, she represents what is possible with guts, determination and an indomitable spirit.
