Black Men in Science

“As a Black man in medicine, I love seeing how this book inspires my 8 and 10 year old sons. They love reading about the different Black men in science, and learning from the definitions and resources added in the book. I can see how this book has ignited their love for history, especially Black history.” –Dr. Alonzo L. Grant, obstetrics and gynecology physician, family man, and Black man in medicine“In a wonderful fashion that is sure to capture a child’s attention and intrigue, Bryan Avery shares stories of perseverance in the face of obstacles. In a brilliant interweaving of Black history, education, and inspiration, he invites the child to make the great next discovery. Bravo!” –Nicole Bueno, author“This book is for all the youth (especially youth of color) who will see themselves in these great Black Men in Science! As a physician myself, I wish I had this book to show my younger self I am standing on the shoulders of these talented men! These men are missing in our history books. Thank you Brian Patrick Avery for bringing these stories to the forefront and inspiring young minds to grow.” –David Inwards-Breland, MD, MPH, professor, UC San Diego
