Continuing our #BlackInMath #BlackHistoryMonth2026 series, we celebrate Dr. William Massey, an expert in queueing theory at #Princeton who's been published 50+ times! In 2001, he became the first tenured African American mathematician at an Ivy League.

White text on a blue background: "Fern Hunt, PhD (1948 - ). 'The beauty that we see in a flower, in a tree, is often an expression of a mathematical fact ... The beauty of mathematics, in some sense, supersedes the beauty that we see with our eyes.'Dr. Fern Hunt is a mathematician with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In 2000, she received the 51st Arthur S. Flemming Award for her math research contributions. For a time she served on the BERAC (Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee) for the Department of Energy. Oval color portrait of Dr. Hunt: a dark skinned, middle-aged Black woman smiling brightly, wearing black rectangle glasses, silver earrings, a bright pink top and a brooch. At the bottom is a red, yellow, green banner reading BLACK HISTORY MONTH next to the International Press of Boston Logo.
Continuing our #BlackInMath #BlackHistoryMonth2026 series, we celebrate Dr. Hunt, a research mathematician with NIST, part of the Department of Commerce. She received the Arthur S. Flemming Award for her contributions to math research!

White text on blue background: Mary Lovenia DeCongé- Watson, PhD (1933-2025) (formerly Sister Mary Sylvester DeCongé). Dr. DeCongé-Watson was the 15th African-American woman to receive a PhD in Math (2-Normed Lattices and 2-Metric Spaces, 1968). She is notably worked on Cauchy's Problem for Higher-Order Abstract Parabolic Equations. She taught several grade school teachers for their math competency exams before she became a professor at Southern University. To the left of the text is an ovular portrait of Dr. DeCongé-Watson as an elderly light-skinned Black woman wearing a pink blazer, a diamond wedding ring, oval transition lens, and earrings. She has short white hair and lovely brown-red lipstick. She is holding her chin and looks very refined. Below her portrait is the blue and gold logo from the Sisters of the Holy Family
For #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate Dr. DeCongé-Watson, the 15th African-American woman to receive a PhD in #Math. She earned her PhD as a religious sister.
From her Louisiana Creole roots to Chair of Mathematics, she is a cornerstone of #BlackInMath #history.

White text on blue background: Trachette Levon Jackson, PhD (1972 - ). Dr. Jackson specializes in mathematical oncology, using mathematical models to study tumor growth and treatment. In 2003, she became the second African- American woman to become a Sloan Fellow in mathematics. There is a snippet of math serving as decorative black text in the back that is from JC Arciero, TL Jackson, DE Kirschner (2004) A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF TUMOR-IMMUNE EVASION AND siRNA TREATMENT in Discrete and Continuous Dynamic Systems Series B Vol 4, No 1. At the top is a banner with the University of Michigan logo and LSA Mathematics University of Michigan. At the bottom is a red, yellow, green banner reading Black History Month and the International Press of Boston logo.
Continuing our #BlackInMath series for #BlackHistoryMonth, #IPB is proud to highlight Dr. Jackson of @umich.edu, a pioneer in Mathematical Biology. She develops models to predict tumor growth & treatment. Her career is a testament to the power of #appliedmath in medicine. #BlackExcellence #STEM
As we continue our #BlackInMath #BlackHistoryMonth2026 series, IPB would like to shout out a recently published article by J Dongho, J Fotso Tachago, F Tchangnwa Nya & F Tchinda Takougoum, four Cameroonian mathematicians, in CMS 24.3! Read the full peer-reviewed article at intlpress.com/cms!
