Original – Dorothy Houston Jacobson (November 13, 1907 – July 13, 1985) was an American political scientist and educator. She was a co-founder and chair of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, and served as Assistant Secretary of Agriculture from 1964 to 1969, during the Johnson administration.

Reason: I don't know how well she's known at FPC, but Penny Richards is a phenomenal researcher who's constantly finding interesting people that deserve more attention to write articles about, and, as such, when she suggested this photo of Jacobson, I was determined to do it. Then took two weeks to do so because I really don't know why; probably made sense at the time. Anyway! It's an excellent photo. I've cropped it a bit - while providing the restored full-size image as well - since photographs of this era were pretty routinely cropped for publication, and I didn't think the bottom half of a framed picture and such were really intended for the final shot. And, as I said, full size image is readily available.
Articles in which this image appears: Dorothy Houston Jacobson
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political seems by far the best. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture doesn't feel as political as some appointments, but it is a political appointment, and everything else she did was clearly political.
