NASA names HQ for former 'hidden figure' Mary W. Jackson [i]There is no way that Mary W. Jackson, NASA's first African American female engineer, could have known that the building she once trained in would someday bear her name. In fact, she might have just assumed that no one would remember her name, let alone use it to honor her and the many other "hidden figures" whose work made NASA's early achievements in aeronautics and space exploration possible. But on Friday (Feb. 26), Mary W. Jackson became a central figure in NASA's identity.[/i]
