Women’s Equality Day

Mae Carol Jemison, pioneering astronaut,  will speak at Women’s Equality Centennial Celebration  

Dr. Mae C. Jemison, an American astronaut, engineer and physician who became the first woman of color to be admitted into NASA’s astronaut training program and travel in space, will be the keynote speaker for the Women’s Equality Centennial Celebration Thursday August 25, 2022, at Old National Events Plaza. This year the luncheon celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving most women the right to vote.

The celebration committee invited Jemison to not only look back and celebrate the 100th anniversary, but also to help Evansville look to the future. She encourages young people to pursue careers in science and technology which would help our community’s challenge to attract and retain a 21st century workforce.
