Thought for the Week
This week's update is again focused on race and ethnicity in honor of Black History Month. On the plus side, since February is the shortest month, you only have a couple more of these to get through...Featured Site for the Week: Famous Black Scientists
This month the Biography channel is highlighting profiles of notable African American scientists and inventors. Everyone is familiar with the work of George Washington Carver, but the work of today's African American scientists is not as well known. For example, did you know that both the super soaker and the modern microphone are the result of work done by African American inventors?
