How Did The NACA Affect African-American Women's Computer Work?

The 1930’s was a time of great struggle in the USA. The New York stock market crashed in 1929 and triggered a spiral of economic depression, which hit African Americans hard.

Leadership abilities are key in being a part of any organization. I believe that in becoming a part of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs (NACWC), I will be able to bring some great ideas in helping the young women of today, no matter what race or religion. Girls need mentors in their life that will help build them up in becoming respectable young women. NACWC will help me reach a goal of educating the children, holding seminars for young ladies, and serving the community. I cannot do everything by myself and I realize that I need a community behind me that believes in the same ideas and to support me.

Mary settled working in NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in 1951. She worked and was the member of the west area computing unit, were at the time was called the “human computer”. She was supervised by Dorothy Vaughan who was also a comprising African American female mathematician. Both women provided data that was important for the early success of the space

Who is Annie Easley? Maybe she was one of the four African Americans to work for NASA out of 2,500 employees. Or maybe she was a human computer, a mathematician, or a math technician? Who was Annie Easley?

The investigation of how the New Deal negatively affected African Americans has given me the opportunity to use a variety of researching methods that are commonly used by historians. Throughout my investigation, I used many primary sources such as commentaries from firsthand accounts and interviews of people who experienced the effects of the new deal, the national archives, along with various secondary sources that were proven accurate as a way to gain knowledge from a perspective of looking back at the event and analyzing the events that occurred. The investigation showed me how many reliable sources were available to historians in various means if they were searched for properly. I was able to research my investigation thoroughly through the use of books, as well as detailed internet research in order to get the most reliable, and valuable information available.

The time I never really experienced incorrect perception but I've seen it happen before it happened in the store when a lady who was African American walked in the store and all the works had their eye on her. They had their eyes on her because they have thought she would steal something because I was next to them when they were talking through the walkie talkies. It seemed like that by the way her skin color was.

My African Americans in the South had a better life. Thier world was changed and no more beatings, sexual assaults, and selling or the of loving family members. They were happy about their new life of freedom but it was also a hard time for life after slavery. The white people still did not like black people and there were laws made called Black Codes. These laws helped the black people and gave them some legal rights. They could now own their land and sue in court. The codes would not let black people be on a jury to go against a white person or be in the army. The codes made black people sign contracts to sharecrop with the white people. If they did not sign the contract they could be sold for hire or put in jail. I know most of the black

How does one correct centuries of discrimination without alienating the majority, who have benefitted from the mistreatment of minorities as citizens of this country? Before understanding how affirmative action has an effect on U.S. history, one must comprehend what it is and what the motive was behind it. Affirmative action was the effort to improve education and career opportunities for women and minorities to make up for past discrimination practices. On March 6, 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order #10925, ensuring that all federally funded projects, such as repairing highways or funding public education, “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed,

United States’ southeast region can be described as unique when it comes to its economic system and its social structure due to the multiple political and constitutional problems these structures have created. The most important factor of these problems raised could be said that was the social structure, regarding the interaction between the different social groups of this southeastern community. From the conflicts that aroused between the different White European settlers, to the adjustment of the African Americans to labor, the southerner society, or community, was created. The commodification of the domestic work of African American women affected in great ways their performance in white households, as well as their portrayal in advertisements, where they were shown to be a need to white southerners during the 1920’s. Although these advertisements approached the public with the idea that domestic work was a necessity, the advances in society made of their work one that day-by-day became less needed.

The ramifications of a society that does not contain black leaders and black academic excellence is that African-Americans will continue to be African-Americans. We as people will never become a part of this American Society, when we place barriers to exclude the positive influences on it. Why do we not see black strong women and men alike, who work for the betterment of our society? When there is no one to lead there is no one to follow. We need to create leaders so that the rest of society can see what is possible, creating a hope for our collective future.

Have you ever wondered why all companies have employees of all races? Affirmative Action sought to give African Americans workers and minorities equal access to education and employment which was previously denied to them. It makes companies and schools give equal access to minorities.

We all know the big impact African American women had on society. We constantly hear about Harriet Tubman, the conductor, or Rosa Parks, the stubborn, leader. But there are many women we don’t hear about, including Ella Baker, Michelle Obama, Tyra Banks, Diana Nash, Daisy Bates, Madam Walker, Oprah Winfrey, and many more. All these women had a big impact on society, and helped during times like the civil rights movement, racism back in the 1800’s, and in some political aspects too. They helped shape America as a whole, and lead very powerful groups that had a strong effect on American lives. Although they don’t get much praise for their accomplishments, the United States would be slightly different without their contributions.

We come today to take this time to talk about the contributions of African-Americans, to talk about the struggle of African-Americans, to identify and to celebrate the many contributions that African-Americans have made to this country and this world. Back in 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D. who had 11 years earlier founded the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, initiated what was known as Negro History Week. It was Dr. Woodson's hope that through this very special observance, all Americans would be reminded of their ethnic roots, and a togetherness in U.S. racial groups would develop out of a mutual respect for all backgrounds. Now we have expanded Negro History Week to Negro History Month,

Du Bois understood the great significance of Black women’s hard work and the problems of racial discrimination that caused underemployment and unemployment of Black workers. He recognized the problems on African American family life when Black women were compelled to work as servant and kept in hardship. Du Bois also knew the stumbling block of Black women restricted to domestic work as jobs were shrinking, but he wanted to make the job more organized by enhancing the behaviors of workers. However, Tera Hunter says that Du Bois did not pay enough attention to Black women workers’ values and collective struggle to racial discrimination. Hunter says Black women workers built sustaining communities in the cities. They were tough and worked hard
