Drew_Charles

Charles Drew (June 3, 1904 – April 1, 1950) was an African American physician and medical researcher. He researched in the field of blood transfusions, developing improved techniques for blood storage, and applied his expert knowledge in developing large-scaleb lood banks early in World War II. He protested against the practice of racial segregation in the donation of blood from donors of different races since it lacked scientific foundation. In 1943, Drew's distinction in his profession was recognised when he became the first African-American surgeon to serve as an examiner o the American Board of Surgery.
