Who is Lawrence H. Knox?
Lawrence H. Knox lived from 1908-1964 and was among the first African Americans to receive a PhD in chemistry. He worked with Paul D. Bartlett on an experiment for testing organic mechanisms in chemistry which involved the use of the molecule bicycloheptane, a type of bicyclic molecule. Knox was the grandson of a slave and it is speculated by some that he died an early death due to the social difficulties of being an African American and a descendant of a slave.
