Celebrating Black Engineers

By Amanda May   Posted in Engineering Library Resources and Services

Hello everyone! 

Happy Black History Month! This month, we’re showcasing items in the University of Missouri’s collection about African American engineers. You can request them by clicking on their hyperlinked titles below. If you have issues requesting the titles, please reach out to Amanda May at asmay@umsystem.edu

Celebrating Black Engineers:

Bridging deep south rivers : the life and legend of Horace King / John S. Lupold and Thomas L. French, Jr
Both when he was enslaved and when he gained his freedom, Horace King built bridges, courthouses, warehouses, factories, and houses in Georgia, Alabama, and eastern Mississippi. The authors separate legend from facts as they carefully document King’s life in the Chattahoochee Valley on the Georgia-Alabama border. The story does not end with Horace, however, because he passed his skills on to his three sons, who also became prominent builders and businessmen.

Overnight code : the life of Raye Montague, the woman who revolutionized naval engineering

The inspiring story of a groundbreaking African American female engineer who created the first computer-designed ship for the US Navy. Equal parts coming-of-age tale, civil rights history, and reflection on the power of education, Overnight Code is a tale about persistence and perseverance when the odds against you seem insurmountable.

 

 

 

 

 

Changing the face of engineering : the African American experience / edited by John Brooks Slaughter, Yu Tao, and Willie Pearson, Jr.

Changing the Face of Engineering argues that the continued underrepresentation of African Americans in engineering impairs the ability of the United States to compete successfully in the global marketplace. This volume will be of interest to STEM scholars and students, as well as policymakers, corporations, and higher education institutions.
