Unsung African-American Chemists

A recent Science Careers article in Science magazine notes the important contributions to chemistry made by Lawrence Knox (who received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Harvard in 1935) and his older brother, William Knox, Jr. (who received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from M.I.T. in 1940). Another Knox brother, Clinton, received his Ph.D. in history in 1940.)
