As Black History Month gets underway, we at the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities recognize and honor the countless and invaluable contributions made by Black cancer researchers throughout history, including Dr. Jane Cooke Wright. In 1967, Dr. Wright become the highest-ranked Black woman at a nationally recognized medical institution. Dr. Wright and Black researchers throughout history paved the way for those of us working in cancer research today, as well as the next generation of diverse cancer researchers we at the Center work every day to support.
