About this listen
This episode is about Alice Ball, a Black chemist from the early 1900s. She is known for developing a method that was used to treat leprosy for decades and improved the lives of thousands of patients. Unfortunately Alice died at the young age of 24, before she got to see the successful implementation of her research. The credit for her work was then stolen by the president of her college before she finally got the recognition she deserved decades later.
