Other contributions by black scientists have had effects on the health of American service members and the world population at large. In the late 1930s, Dr. Charles Richard Drew, a black surgeon and teacher, organized blood banks for the American Red Cross and National search Council. Drew stored plasma instead of whole blood in process the banks, preserving it with a freeze-dr- y he developed. Early during World War II, Drew was chosen unanimously by his fellow scientists to direct the Blood for Britain program. Ironically, Drew resigned from the Red Cross, when American military officials insisted - and that blood being sent to the Red Cross agreed soldiers American fighting in World War II be septhe donor's race. This policy to arated according was abolished after the war. Today, the DoD blood donor program, which collects some 200,000 pints of blood each year from soldiers and family members, is directed by Army Lt CoL Anthony Polk, a black medical services of ; ' :" Mid-Atlant- ic .t mid-1950- vice : and was responsible for filling the ship's hold with whale oil.

Next to the American cowboy, there are perhaps no more colorful figures in our history than those who went down to the sea in ships.' Who battled the elements, and sailed off to distant and exotic parts of the world that most Americans had barely heard of. But what is often left out of the romantic tales of men and the sea is that many of those men were black.'

Today blacks have opportunities at all levels of military management, including the scientific and medical fields." Berthel K. Carmichael, a mathematician and analyzer of underwater acoustics data for the Naval Research Laboratory, used her scientific know-hoto help open the door to another type of opportunity. Carmichael became the first woman black or white to take part in an extended research cruise on board'a Military Sealift Command ship. She was instrumental in charting the ocean bottom along the Ridge and the Norweand Greenland basins. gian Other significant scientific contributions have come from black service members who applied their talents to their military occupations.
