Abstract
The overall percentages of African American scientists indicate underrepresentation in most science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and the percentages appear to be declining over the last three decades. We will share insights on how professional societies can directly impact the broadening of participation as well as the persistence of racial groups in the STEM fields and hence, strengthen and sustain the Nation's future workforce.
