Online Resources About the History and Contributions of African American Scientists

In this blog post, I want to provide a listing of a few internet resources regarding the history and important contributions of African American scientists. This is not a complete list, but these resources can be beneficial for broadening the narrative far beyond important historical figures such as George Washington Carver and Benjamin Banneker.
