Celebrating Black History in the Construction Industry:
We'll also be looking back on the historical figures who have broken barriers and helped advance the architecture, engineering and construction industry. People like Garrett A. Morgan (1877鈥�1963), the inventor of the safety hood smoke detection device and precursor to today鈥檚 full-face respirator, as well as a hero during the 1916 New West Side Waterworks Tunnel Explosion in Cleveland. Garrett used his creative energies for inventions that conveyed his concern for the safety of others.
And the achievements of Yvonne Y. Clark (1929鈥�2019), a notable pioneer for women African-American engineers and a trailblazer in the academic and professional world. She was the first woman to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University, first woman to earn a degree in Engineering Management from Vanderbilt University, and the first woman to serve as a faculty member in the College of Engineering and Technology at Tennessee State University.
鈥淧repare yourself. Do your work鈥on鈥檛 be afraid to ask questions and benefit by meeting with other women. Whatever you like, learn about it and pursue it鈥he environment is what you make it. Sometimes the environment is hostile, but don鈥檛 worry about it. Be aware of it so you aren鈥檛 blind-sided.鈥� - Yvonne Y. Clark
