Flemmie Kittrell and the Preschool Experiment from Lost Women of Science (Encore)

Описание: Dr. Flemmie Kittrell was a Black home economist whose research in the field of early childhood education shaped the way we think about child development today. She became the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in nutrition and contributed immensely to programs like Head Start – even though her name is often left out of the history. We'll hear more about her life and work in a story from the podcast Lost Women of Science_, _hosted by Carol Sutton Lewis and Danya AbdelHameid.
