Good Morning! It is Wednesday October 8. In 1899 Dorothy Donaldson Buchana was born. She was a Scottish civil engineer, and the first female member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, successfully passing the institution's admission examination in 1927.

History’s heroes were too often chosen by those with power.

The NYT’s “Overlooked” series restores the women and people of color left out—like Henrietta Lacks, whose cells changed medicine but whose name was nearly lost.

Forgetting isn’t passive. It’s a choice. 🗃️

A map of the United States titled States with a smaller population than Los Angeles County. Most states are colored blue, meaning they have fewer residents than the county. Los Angeles County itself is shown as a small red area on the southern California coast. A handful of high population states are gray instead of blue, such as California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois. Alaska and Hawaii appear in blue in small insets.
