He was in fact the first African American to earn a PhD in *any* subject from an American university, one of the first ten people of any race to earn a PhD in physics from an American university, and one of the first Americans to earn a PhD in any subject in the US. twitter.com/nsbpinc/status…

When Bouchet warned his PhD from Yale, American PhD programs were a new phenomenon, only about 15-20 years old. Before that people had to go to Europe to get a PhD.

Damn. Thanks for pointing this out. This is the type of nuance that gets left out by relegating "black history" to a month. You lose the context between "first black man/woman" and "seriously this was trailblazing being done here"

Thanks. I had read about Booker T Washington and George Washington Carver here in India as a child. Happy to learn about a black STEM professor in physics.
