Angie Lena Turner King was on WikiProject Women in Science's list of scientists without pages, and she was referred to on a Wikipedia (
Katherine Jackson). She appears to be the first African-American woman to get a mathematics PhD at the University of Pittsburgh, may be the first to get a joint mathematics/chemistry PhD, and seems to be only the 5th African-American woman to get a mathematics PhD[1]. She also received an alumnus of the year award, and she appears in key books chronicling pioneering African-American women in science.

Regarding her mother's death, I've modified sentences in the lead and early life sections to specify that King was eight-years-old when her mother died.
I've changed the laboratory sentence to state, "...improve the quality of her students' scientific research experience." I would also be open to changing this sentence to just state "students' experience."
Because
Institute is the place name of the unincorporated community where WVSU is located and where King resided, I stated that she died "in" Institute. It is a bit confusing, because the town was originally named after WVSU when it was variously called the "West Virginia Colored Institute" and "West Virginia Collegiate Institute." Please let me know if this requires any elaboration in the article text.
Thank you for the catch regarding charting vs. charter member. I've corrected this in the text!
