I am honored to be included in the National Academies of Science and Engineering and the Institute of Medicine’s African American History Program. My accomplishments are included, but this website is a testament to the African American Scientists and Engineers who came before me, as well as those who will follow me. As we work to continue changing the face of those who contribute to scientific accomplishments, both nationally and worldwide, I encourage you to visit this website and share the knowledge of outstanding African American scientists who will inspire the next generation.
