Black History Month 2019 - #2: STEM in the Early 20th Century
The Civil War ended in 1865, so this next group of STEM superstars were primarily all born free. Crops of freedman schools opened up throughout the South following the Civil War, followed by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Some of our superstars, educated in white schools in the North, taught at these universities. Others blazed their own trails in private industry.
