Summary The highly anticipated third installment of the Book of Black Heroes series, Scientists, Healers, and Inventors spotlights African Americans who have made valuable contributions in the areas of science, medicine and creative invention. Reaching as far back as the 1700s to the trailblazing work of Benjamin Banneker, Scientists, Healers, and Inventors contains nearly four dozen Black heroes and includes more than 250 years of creativity, ingenuity, and healing by Black Americans.
