You’re probably wondering — who are these people? Why don’t their names ring a bell?
Yet, when we hear names like Joseph Lister, Alexander Fleming, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, or Alexander Graham Bell, they instantly spark recognition. We’re taught their stories in classrooms, their inventions are glorified, and their legacies are deeply woven into the fabric of history.
So, why are these brilliant Black pioneers who made groundbreaking contributions to medicine and science largely left out of the conversation?
The answer is painfully familiar: a long-standing system that elevates white achievement while erasing or minimizing Black excellence. A system that celebrates some while silencing others.
In today’s video, we will be shining a much-needed light on the forgotten heroes who transformed modern medicine, pioneers who saved countless lives and revolutionized healthcare, yet were denied the recognition they truly deserved simply because of the color of their skin.
