In celebration of Black History Month, we recognize 10 individuals from the Black/African-American collective who have made tremendous contributions to the field of statistics. The 10 featured individuals have made significant achievements as researchers, professors, mentors, and health care professionals. Read their biographies to learn more about how they entered the field of statistics, what they’ve accomplished, and the role mentoring played in helping build their professional careers.
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.
