In solidarity with #ShutDownStem and for the 155th celebration of Juneteenth, we revisited our past interviews where we spoke with Black and African American scientists in our community and focused in on what they told us about their experiences being Black in the US and in STEM. In their stories, we hear about the challenges that persist in academia for Black scholars.
