Katherine Johnson lived an aspirational 101 years on earth. We are lucky to have known her story. With so many stories that have gone largely uncelebrated, i needed to bring them to life. It has been an honor to publish the $TEMmers calendars since 2016 and research these extraordinary earthlings since 2012. their stories not only inspire us, but also give us something to relate to before they humble us.
Here are black- and african-american $TEMmers that have graced our calendar over the years. They were astronauts, surgeons, physicists, neuroscientists, and beyond. Learn about and from them not only in February, but every day throughout every year.
