Thank you so much for the time and effort spent to put together the stories of these inspiring Black/African American statisticians. I’m excited to share the story of one person, every other day throughout February, in my community college statistics classes.
I have known Donald for many years. Here at UND he has done a superb job
in getting his PhD. He is one of the finest human beings I have ever met.
