Dr. Jane C. Wright was an African American doctor during a time when females, especially Black women, were shunned by most in the science fields. Despite this, she revolutionized cancer research, and her work has had implications for cancer treatment to this day. Dr. Jane C. Wright is a woman whose scientific accomplishments should be celebrated!

In this assignment, students will:

  • READ a biography about the life and scientific accomplishments of Dr. Wright.
  • ANSWER text-dependent reading comprehension questions.
