"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.

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
