Little Known Black History Fact:

Jill Brown-Hiltz

Jill Brown-Hiltz made history 40 years ago by becoming the first Black woman pilot for a major commercial airline company. She is also the first Black woman admitted to the U.S. Navy’s pilot training program as well.

Born Jill Elaine Brown in 1950, the Baltimore native’s family were all big fans of aviation. By the time she was 17, the family purchased a small airplane, sparking a lifelong love of flying. Brown-Hiltz’s stint in the Navy only lasted six months after she was honorably discharged, but finding her way

to the skies was elusive until her big break.

The first Black-owned and operated airline company, Wheeler Airlines, hired Brown-Hiltz as a ticket clerk and she eventually worked her way up to becoming a pilot. She earned the requisite number of flight hours to become a pilot for a major airline and in 1978, she flew for Texas International Airlines. Brown-Hiltz reportedly said that Texas International was using her for publicity, and she eventually took her talents to Zantop International Airlines.

In 1990, she unsuccessfully sued United Airlines for racial and gender discrimination, losing an appeal in the matter in 1997. After flying, Brown-Hiltz reportedly worked as an advocate for other Black aviators.

CSTM Presents Healthy Habits For the Month of July: Aim for 10,000 steps per day.

Walking burns calories and can help combat the risks that come with a sedentary lifestyle. Added bonus: Going for just a 15-minute stroll can help you get out of a mental rut and increase your

creativity by nearly 60 percent.

Healthy Fats! Don't make this month about snack crackers and deep-fried foods. Focus on swapping unhealthy

fats for healthy ones (Avocados, Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Omega-3s).

The Cancer Support Team Ministry recognizes the following Cancer Awareness for the month of July: Sarcoma Awareness Week (Yellow)

USDA STEAM Summer Camp The USDA in partnership with George Washington University is offering a free summer camp focusing on using Open Data for high school students ages 15 - 17. One definition of Open Data (http://www.govtech..com/data/Got-Data-Make-it-Open-Data-with-These-Tips.html) "…is the idea that some data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control."

USDA Office of the Chief Information Officer and the Data Science Program at George Washington University are teaming up to design and deliver a tuition-free "summer camp" in 2018 for high-school students (ages 15-17) in the Washington Metro Area that focuses on using Open Data related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Math (STEAM).

This two-week long (July 23-August 3, 2018) project-based Summer Camp will introduce participants to the use of data for making important decisions, in the context of the USDA's work with food nutrition, forestry, and urban agriculture.

The camp will take place on the GWU campus in Corcoran Hall from July 23rd until August 3rd from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. To apply, access this link: USDA STEAM Summer Camp - GW Data Science.
