Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring Innovation in Science and Medicine 0

As we commemorate Juneteenth, we reflect on the profound contributions of African Americans in science and innovation, especially in the medical and scientific fields. For example, the legacy of George Washington Carver, a pioneering African American scientist born into slavery, whose groundbreaking agricultural research at Tuskegee University revolutionized practices like crop rotation and introduced alternative crops, impacting sustainability and various scientific fields.
