The Dahlgren Heritage Museum is proud to be part of the group of organizations and individuals who are sharing Dr. Gladys West's story.
In a recent episode of the podcast Bound by the Cloth, Chandi and Zoey interviewed her daughter Carolyn Oglesby, adding in excerpts of Dr. West herself, to discuss "the challenges she faced, the barriers she broke, and the legacy this hidden figure leaves behind."
We encourage you to listen to this hour-long exchange not only to learn more about Dr. West, her family, and their careers, but also to consider the part you can play in extending her legacy by encouraging children, especially girls, to pursue careers in STEM fields and by mentoring others to help them grow and thrive.
