}}June Esther Bacon-Bercey (née Griffin, born October 23, 1932) is an international expert on weather and aviation[1] who has worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service and the Atomic Energy Commission.[2] She is believed to be the first African-American woman to gain a degree in meteorology.[3] Early life and educationBacon-Bercey was born and raised in Wichita.[4] She earned her bachelor's degree in 1954 from the University of Kansas and her master's degree in 1955 from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[4][6] She earned a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Southern California in 1979.[4] CareerBacon-Bercey began her career as an engineer, when she worked for the Sperry Corporation, then worked for a variety of federal organizations including the United States Atomic Energy Commission (as a consultant), the National Weather Service Aviation Branch, and the National Meteorological Center.[6] Beginning in 1979, Bacon-Bercey spent nearly ten years as the chief administrator for Television Weather Activities at NOAA and worked on a number of other projects.[2][5] Increasing the participation of African-American women in metereology and geophysical science has been a major focus for Bacon-Bercey. In 1978, she published an analysis of African-American meteorologists in the US.[6] She had won $64,000 as a contestant on The $128,000 Question in 1977, which she used to establish a scholarship fund for young women interested in atmospheric sciences, administered by the American Geophysical Union (AGU).[7][8] Bacon-Bercey served on the AGU's Committee on Women and Minorities in Atmospheric Sciences, and co-founded the American Metereological Society's Board on Women in Minorities.[4] In 2006, Bacon-Bercey featured in a book for young people, June Bacon-Bercey: a meteorologist talks about the weather.[9] HonorsBacon-Bercey was the first woman, as well as the first African-American, to be awarded the American Meteorological Society's Seal of Approval for excellence in television weathercasting when she was working in Buffalo, New York in the 1970s. In 2000, she was honored during a three-day conference at Howard University for her contributions including: helping to establish a meteorology lab at Jackson State University in Mississippi, her endowment of the scholarship, and her work in California's public schools.[10] Bacon-Bercey was also named a Minority Pioneer for Achievement in Atmospheric Sciences by NASA.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2000/mar00/noaa00r305.html|title=NOAA Supporting Conference in Atmospheric Sciences at Howard University|accessdate=2008-02-13|publisher=NOAA|date=2000-03-15|author=Pat Viets}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bacon-Bercey, June}}2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2000/03/23/MN26514.DTL|title=Substitute Science Teacher is a Meteorology Legend|date=2000-03-23|accessdate=2008-02-13|author=Bill Workman|work=The San Francisco Chronicle}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Chandler|first1=D.L.|title=Little Known Black History Fact: June Bacon-Bercey|url=https://blackamericaweb.com/2016/12/09/little-known-black-history-fact-june-bacon-bercey/|website=BlackAmericaWeb|accessdate=16 February 2018}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book|title = African Americans in Science, Math and Invention|last = Spangenburg|first = Ray|publisher = Facts on File, Inc.|year = 2012|isbn = 9780816083312|location = |pages = 7–8|last2 = Moser|first2 = Kit|edition = Revised|others = Revised by Steven Otfinoski}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=75bnncOVqEIC|title=Black Women Scientists in the United States|last=Warren|first=Wini|date=1999-01-01|publisher=Indiana University Press|isbn=0253336031|language=en}} 6. ^{{cite journal|last1=Bacon-Bercey|first1=June|title=Statistics on Black Meteorologists in Six Organizational Units of the Federal Government|journal=Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society|date=May 1978|volume=59|issue=5|pages=576–580|url=http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/1520-0477(1978)059%3C0576:SOBMIS%3E2.0.CO%3B2|accessdate=19 February 2017|doi=10.1175/1520-0477(1978)059<0576:sobmis>2.0.co;2}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=June Bacon-Bercey wins $64,000 in TV quiz show|url=https://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/journals/noaa_news/QC851N3851977v2no10.pdf|work=NOAA News|issue=Vol 2 No 10|publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|date=13 May 1977}} 8. ^{{cite journal|last1=Anonymous|title=June Bacon-Bercey Scholarship in atmospheric sciences|journal=Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union|date=1978|volume=59|issue=12|pages=1012|doi=10.1029/EO059i012p01012-01|bibcode=1978EOSTr..59Q1012.}} 9. ^{{cite book|last1=Weil|first1=Ann|title=June Bacon-Bercey : a meteorologist talks about the weather|date=2006|publisher=Houghton Mifflin|location=Boston|isbn=0618599541|url=http://www.worldcat.org/title/june-bacon-bercey-a-meteorologist-talks-about-the-weather/oclc/676696501}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Workman|first1=Bill|title=Substitute Science Teacher Is a Meteorology Legend / Weather pioneer June Bacon-Bercey given more honors|url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Substitute-Science-Teacher-Is-a-Meteorology-3240651.php|accessdate=29 March 2017|work=SFGate|date=March 23, 2000}} 8 : American meteorologists|Jackson State University people|National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration personnel|Living people|African-American women|African-American scientists|American women scientists|1932 births |
