Roger Arliner Young – African American History Month 2017 #BlackHistoryMonth
Today we celebrate Roger Arliner Young (1889-1964), who became the first black woman to receive her PhD in Zoology in 1940, overcoming many personal obstacles to do so.
Young enrolled at Howard University at the age of twenty-seven, intending to major in music. After struggling through a biology course with African American biologist Ernest Everett Just, she changed her major to that subject, earning a B.S. in 1923. Just hired her as an assistant professor at Howard while she attended graduate school. The next year, Young enrolled at the University of Chicago in Illinois part-time and published her first article on paramecium which achieved international recognition. She received her M.S in Zoology in 1926 and was elected to the honor society Sigma Xi.
