Vernie Merze Tate was born on February 6, 1905 in Blanchard, Michigan. She died on June 27, 1996 in Washington, D.C. She was a professor and scholar who, because of her education and travels, became an expert on United States diplomacy. Merze achieved many firsts. Among them, she was the first African-American to graduate from Western Michigan Teachers College, to attend the University of Oxford, and to earn a Ph.D. in government and international relations from Radcliffe College (which is now known as Harvard University). She is what I would refer to as a hidden figure and a hidden treasure.
