Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan who were depicted in Hidden Figures were far from being the only Black women who broke barriers and achieved success in the industry dominated by white men. 

Raye Montague, now 82, is a Black woman who made history in the very exotic field. She became the first female program manager of ships in the history of the Navy. Speaking about her career she emphasized that this position was “the equivalent of being a CEO of a company.”

Montague grew up in a segregated South and never saw an engineer that looked like her. She managed to shatter that glass ceiling as a Black female-engineer in the Navy.

“My mother told me when I was a very little girl, ‘Raye, you’ll have three strikes against you. You’re female and you’re black and you’ll have a southern segregated school education. But you can be or do anything you want, provided you’re educated.’" Montague recalled.

During the Nixon administration, Montague’s remember her boss giving her department one month to use a system she developed to design a naval ship. She completed the task in under 19 hours.

Such stories teach people, especially little girls, that there’s always a place for you in any career path. You just have to believe in yourself and don’t look back.

Know your heroes. #BlackHistoryMonth

To Joe Biden, the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware’s favorite son:  you were the first choice I made as a nominee, and the best.  Not just because you have been a great Vice President, but because in the bargain, I gained a brother.  We love you and Jill like family, and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life. ~ President Barack Obama’s farewell address [1/10/17]
