SynopsisBy learning all he could about blood, Charles Drew taught us how to store blood longer and more safely. This helped save lines all over the world. He never gave up on his dreams, even in a time of war and racism, and he used his brilliant mind to teach young Black students how to become amazing doctors like himself. On top of that, he was an extraordinary athlete!, Meet the inventors and scientists of color who changed the world! Born in Washington, D.C., in 1904, Charles R. Drew was a Black surgeon and medical researcher. Known as the "Father of The Blood Bank," he researched in the field of blood transfusions, and developed improved techniques for blood storage. Among his many accomplishments, he developed America's first large-scale blood bank during World War II. It is time to remember how Charles R. Drew's inventions and his contributions changed our society... and our world! ABOUT THE SERIES: Many inventors and scientists of color have made incredible contributions to our modern life. Each volume in this much-needed new series will be devoted to the life and work of one of these inventors and scientists. With a vivid writing style that will use humor as one of its primary ingredients, and illustrated with a combination of real photos and pictures featuring graphic art, each title in this series will describe how these heroes of diverse backgrounds faced the challenges of their times, and how their inventions and contributions changed our society.
