The article states that Tate was"first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in government and international relations fromHarvard University (thenRadcliffe College)...".
She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1941, but Radcliffe did not start offering joint Harvard-Radcliffe diplomas until 1963. Unfortunately, this assertion has been reported by third-party sources, so fixing it here might be consideredoriginal research. I'll leave it in until I get the chance to work on some better sourcing. —Satori Son15:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly, this article states she was the first African American female graduate of Western State Teachers College. In fact, there were earlier graduates of the institution who earned a four year degree. Several graduates earned teaching certificates even earlier.
