Author
  • Regina Hertz (Iowa State University)

Abstract

George Washington Carver is celebrated as the trailblazer for African Americans at Iowa State, but who are the others lost in this institution's history? What conditions did they study, live, and work in? This presentation is designed for an audience of people who identify with the Black community as well as describe themselves as members of the Iowa State community. Its purpose is to further the identity and understanding of both these groups in context of their combined histories through narratives from the lives of four past African American students who made great contributions to Iowa State University and the world.
