Susan Kelly

Susan Kelly, Mathematics & Statistics, authored the book "Striving for the Limit: Euphemia Lofton Haynes's Fight for Education" and was accepted for publication by 619 Wreath. Haynes was the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics and a major catalyst for the Hobson v. Hanson court case that ruled de facto school segregation unconstitutional. This story was written for a multigenerational audience. Much of the archive materials used for the book was collected and used for a paper authored with former UWL students Carly Shinners and Katherine (Zoroufy) Wagner.
