Celebrating Edward Bouchet: PhD Pioneer in Physics at an Ivy League University

In 1876, Edward Bouchet made history as the first African American to earn a PhD from an Ivy League institution, graduating from Yale University. His dissertation on measuring refractive indices paved the way for future generations in physics. This achievement not only broke racial barriers but also showcased the contributions of African Americans to science. Join us in honoring Bouchet's legacy and exploring the impact of diversity in the field of physics.
