OUR HISTORY….. First Cousin to PISD Board member Ms. Dyna Tutt

Bettye Washington Greene (March 20, 1935 – June 16, 1995) was an American industrial research chemist. She was the first African American female Ph.D. chemist to work in a professional position at the Dow Chemical Company. At Dow, she researched latex and polymers.  Dr. Greene is considered an early African American pioneer in science.
Bettye Washington was born in Fort Worth, Texas. She attended segregated public schools and graduated from I.M. Terrell High School around 1952.
She entered Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, graduating with a B.S. in chemistry in 1955. Following her marriage to Veteran Air force Captain William Miller Greene in 1955, she attended Wayne State University in Detroit, where she earned her Ph.D. in physical chemistry working with Wilfred Heller(1962). She also taught undergraduate chemistry at this time.  Her doctoral dissertation, "Determination of particle size distributions in emulsions by light scattering" was published in 1965.  
She was elected to Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society. #palestine_isd #wildcatnation #palestinetx #blackhistorymonth #ourblackhistory
