    Dr. Rhonda D. Fitzgerald was my professor for probability and statistics (part2). She’s an amazing professor and it’s awesome that she and 11 other individuals are being recognized for their hard work and dedication to the statistic field.

    I am so very proud of the African American statisticians who have, through their contributions,changed our lives for the better. They continue to pave the way for Black little boys and little Black girls to see them, hear them, and aspire to be them. I am especially proud of my niece, Renee H. Moore, whose initiatives will continue to change our community. Black History will recognize them for years to come. Congratulations!
