50 Most Important Blacks in Research Science 2004
On September 17, 2004 at a conference in Nashville Tennessee, Science Spectrum announced (pdf) the
According to the editor, these individuals (listed below) were chosen based on their "lifelong work in making science part of global society." The magazine has extremely limited information on all but a handful of this group; therefore, we have conducted a search for more data. The links are to employment web pages, or personal web pages, or web pages from third parties. All were found via a simple search on Google which was made easy as several had been chosen in previous years as Most Important Black Engineers.
If there is no link exhibited, then we found none within the first 50 hits of our search. I placed an asterisk when there was insufficient information to narrow my search.
