  • John Moon – One of the first Black paramedics in the U.S., helping shape modern EMS.
  • Dr. Patricia Bath – Inventor of the Laserphaco Probe, revolutionizing cataract surgery.
  • Antoinette Hardy-Waller – Advocate for Black leadership in healthcare finance.
  • Gloria A. Brown – Broke barriers as the first Black woman U.S. Forest Service supervisor, using GIS for land conservation.
  • Clinton G. Johnson – Founder of NorthStar of GIS, advocating for racial equity in mapping.
