Film: FORGOTTEN GENIUS

 

Forgotten Genius

Against all odds African-American chemist Percy Julian became one of the great scientists of the 20th century.    With the showing of "Forgotten Genius," the definitive account of the life of African-American chemist Percy Julian to date, it seems like an opportune moment to ask to what degree the racism Julian endured still holds sway in the scientific world, 32 years after his death. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/julian/
