The book provides significant insight into the factors that affect
the careers of these scientists and, importantly, gives voice to
the many men and women who overcame discrimination, prejudice, and
racism to build successful scientific careers.Although 70 percent
of those interviewed felt that their careers had been hindered by
discrimination, less than a handful expressed any regrets about
choosing a career in chemistry. Remarkably, these chemists refused
to allow racism to stifle their achievement.
Although a disproportionate number of the chemists had their birth
origins in the South, however, most pursued their careers outside
the region and branched out across the nation. Many of those
individuals had profound impacts in both industrial and academic
settings but this book also chronicles the hardships that many
faced. This book provides the opportunity for a full range of
voices, from a number of perspectives, to be heard.
