  • African American Scientists
    AFRICAN AMERICAN SCIENTISTS Benjamin Banneker Born into a family of free blacks in Maryland, Banneker learned the rudiments of (1731-1806) reading, writing, and arithmetic from his grandmother and a Quaker schoolmaster. Later he taught himself advanced mathematics and astronomy. He is best known for publishing an almanac based on his astronomical calculations. Rebecca Cole Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cole was the second black woman to graduate (1846-1922) from medical school (1867). She joined Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first white woman physician, in New York and taught hygiene and childcare to families in poor neighborhoods. Edward Alexander Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Bouchet was the first African American to Bouchet graduate (1874) from Yale College. In 1876, upon receiving his Ph.D. in physics (1852-1918) from Yale, he became the first African American to earn a doctorate. Bouchet spent his career teaching college chemistry and physics. Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was born in Pennsylvania and attended medical school in Chicago, where Williams he received his M.D. in 1883. He founded the Provident Hospital in Chicago in 1891, (1856-1931) and he performed the first successful open heart surgery in 1893. George Washington Born into slavery in Missouri, Carver later earned degrees from Iowa Agricultural Carver College. The director of agricultural research at the Tuskegee Institute from 1896 (1865?-1943) until his death, Carver developed hundreds of applications for farm products important to the economy of the South, including the peanut, sweet potato, soybean, and pecan.

The effect of this on-going, scholarly ‘explosion’, in which both black and white historians are actively engaged, is both manifold and wide-reaching for in illuminating myriad aspects of African American life and culture from the colonial period to the very recent past it is simultaneously, and inevitably, enriching our understanding of the entire fabric of American social, economic, cultural and political history. Perhaps not surprisingly the depth and breadth of coverage received by particular topics and time-periods has so far been uneven.

    Board of Historic Resources Quarterly Meeting 18 March 2021 Sponsor Markers – Diversity 1.) Central High School Sponsor: Goochland County Locality: Goochland County Proposed Location: 2748 Dogtown Road Sponsor Contact: Jessica Kronberg, [email protected] Original text: Central High School Constructed in 1938, Central High School served as Goochland County’s African American High School during the time of segregation. Built to replace the Fauquier Training School which burned down in 1937, the original brick structure of Central High School contained six classrooms on the 11-acre site. The school officially opened its doors to students on December 1, 1938 and housed grades eight through eleven. The 1938 structure experienced several additions over the years. In 1969, after desegregation, the building served as the County’s integrated Middle School. 86 words/ 563 characters Edited text: Central High School Central High School, Goochland County’s only high school for African American students, opened here in 1938. It replaced Fauquier Training School, which stood across the street from 1923, when construction was completed with support from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, until it burned in 1937. Central High, a six-room brick building that was later enlarged, was built on an 11-acre site with a grant from the Public Works Administration, a New Deal agency. Its academic, social, and cultural programs were central to the community. After the county desegregated its schools under federal court order in 1969, the building became a junior high school. 102 words/ 647 characters Sources: Goochland County School Board Minutes Fauquier Training/Central High School Class Reunion 2000.

  • Influential Black Biologists
    INFLUENTIAL BLACK BIOLOGISTS Lesson Plan Adaptable for all ages and abilities A NOTE TO EDUCATORS AND PARENTS Please take care to review any content before sharing with your students, especially from the external links provided, to make sure it is age appropriate. OBJECTIVES • To learn about influential Black biologists who advanced their field and added to scientific knowledge • To understand the importance of diversity in science • To provide inspiration for future biologists • To provide links to careers advice and guidance WARM-UP As a warm-up exercise, get your pupils to think about as many scientists as they can in one minute. Either have them write this down or do it as a group discussion. How many Scientists on their lists are Black? Discuss with your pupils whether the scientists they came up with represents the make-up of society. Why do they think this is the case? Depending on the age and level of your students, you may wish to draw on points raised in some of the following articles for this discussion: • What is racism - and what can be done about it? (CBBC Newsround) White men still dominate in UK academic science (Nature) • White men’s voices still dominate public science. Here’s how to change this (The Conversation) • The Ideology of Racism: Misusing Science to Justify Racial Discrimination (United Nations) Use the wordsearch (on page 5) provided to start a discussion around which of these Biologists your pupils have or have not heard about. What topics did these scientists research? Which scientific topics sound the most and least interesting to each of the pupil and why? 1/4 RESEARCH Using the “suggested list of people to research further” (on page 4) and the “wordsearch” (on page 5) as a starting point, get your students to select an interesting biologist who inspires them, or who has made a notable discovery.
