Talk:Helen G. Edmonds

First Black Woman to Earn PhD at Ohio State
Just to let everyone here know that recent research undertaken by the Department of History has determined that Edmonds does not hold this distinction. The woman's name is Alethea Hebron Washington who graduated with her PhD from the College of Education in 1925. I will post a formalized link to this research in the near future. This was a very recent archive dig, so it isn't due to the fault of anyone's facts gathered in the past. 76.181.41.194 (talk) 16:20, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Update: There is already a published document showing this that can be found here:
