Abstract

We are 52 Black scientists. Here, we establish the context of Juneteenth in STEMM and discuss the barriers Black scientists face, the struggles they endure, and the lack of recognition they receive. We review racism's history in science and provide institutional-level solutions to reduce the burdens on Black scientists.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
