About This Item
New York:: Charles Scribner's Sons,, (1967). Hardcover -. Fine in a near fine dustjacket (price-clipped).. 4th printing. Biography of this pioneering African American doctor and scientist written for older children and young adults. Drew "improved techniques for blood storage, and applied his expert knowledge to developing large-scale blood banks early in World War II. This allowed medics to save thousands of Allied forces' lives during the war. As the most prominent African American in the field, Drew protested against the practice of racial segregation in the donation of blood, as it lacked scientific foundation, and resigned his position with the American Red Cross, which maintained the policy until 1950."
