Ernest Everett Just
The Black Apollo of Science
In 1983 Kenneth R. Manning wrote the Biography of this African American Biologist who was recognized for his work mostly done in Europe where he was named The Black Apollo after the Greek God of medicine and healing.
This is apart of what Wikipedia tells of his biography:
Black Apollo of Science: The Life of Ernest Everett Just is a biography of African-American biologist Ernest Everett Just, written in 1983 by Kenneth R. Manning. Just (1883-1941) was a pioneering African American biologist and educator. The book, which was published by Oxford University Press, provided an in-depth study of Just’s research and discoveries within fertilization, early embryonic development, and the properties of the cell surface, and it also detailed the difficult social environment facing African American scientists within U.S. academia during the first part of the 20th century.[1]
Manning, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, received the 1983 Pfizer Award for the book, which was also a finalist for the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.[2][3] The book was also cited by The New York Times as one of its notable books of the year 1984.
Born into a segregated United States on August 5, 1946, excelled in education graduating from Roosevelt H.S. in Washington D.C. Valedictorian in 1964. Then went on to MIT, to be the first African American woman to earn a B.S degree in theoretical physics 1968 and PH. D degree in Nuclear Physics at that time in 1973. She received “The National Metal of Science” and August 29, 2014 became Chair Person of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, all in the same year. These you must admit are great accomplishments for anyone. If you google Shirley Ann Jackson and see all the other things she has accomplished or was apart of you will then understand the “WOW”.
