Science Pub: The Legacy of Black Excellence in Veterinary Medicine
We often think of legacy as something ancestral or historical—and in many ways, that is true. However, legacy also exists in the present and looks toward the future. It is what motivates us, inspires us, and fills us with hope.
The study of veterinary medicine traces its origin to the 18th century, beginning with the establishment of the first veterinary school in France. Although the veterinary profession has evolved over centuries, today, African Americans represent only 2.2% of veterinarians.
This lecture series celebrates Black excellence in veterinary medicine, from the first African American women to earn veterinary degrees to modern entrepreneurs featured on Animal Planet. We’ll also explore cases led by Dr. Beamon, highlighting her contributions to Black excellence in the field. The legacy of Black professionals in veterinary medicine is multidimensional, and together, we celebrate their enduring impact.
Science Pubs are a casual lecture series held in two locations across Portland. Grab a drink and get comfy as you learn about the innovative medical impact of prominent Black veterinarians in The Legacy of Black Excellence in Veterinary Medicine. Recommended for ages 10 and over.
