Black Scientists Who Changed the Game
[Hook]
Black Scientists changed the game
Black Scientists changed the game
Unsung heroes unsung so long
But today we praise your names
[Verse 1]
Shirley Ann Jackson
1st black woman earn a PhD At MIT
She studied Nuclear Physics and held prestigious positions
She was the first Black Chair of the NRC
Percy Julian made many medicines
He science’d plants and soybeans
Like physostigmine for glaucoma
And steroids, without horsey pee
1st black resident of ophthalmology
That’s Patricia Bath, New York University
In 1981 she invented a laser
That substantially upgraded cataract surgery
[Hook]
Black Scientists changed the game
Black Scientists changed the game
Unsung heroes unsung so long
But today we praise your names
Black Scientists changed the game
Black Scientists changed the game
When the world is feeling colder can we stand on your shoulders
And just remember what you overcame
[Verse]
Can’t deny that Gas Masks save lives
However in the past no one wanted to buy
It’s sad because the only reason why
The inventor Garrett Morgan was a black guy (that aint’ right)
Rebecca Lee Crumpler holds the position
First African-American female physician
She was essential to the black community
Provided medical care to the people who were freed
Charles Richard Drew blood storage breakthrough
Discovered that the plasma could be kept for later use
Got his PhD, used his expertise
Save thousands, in World War 2
[Hook]
Black Scientists
Changed the game
Black Scientists
Changed the game
Unsung heroes
Unsung so long
But today we praise your names
Black Scientists
Changed the game
Black Scientists
Changed the game
When the world is feeling colder
Can we stand on your shoulders
And just remember what you overcame
