Science & Medicine
Percy Julian was a groundbreaking African-American scientist in the 20th century. Long before the Civil Rights Movement, he pioneered a path in a field that was dominated by whites and plagued by racial prejudice. Yet few people today even know his name. In this podcast, Julian's late son, Percy Jr., describes his father's personality.
