He feels his greatest achievement was being the Founding Chairman of “Saturday Science” which was based at Charles Drew Medical School in Watts California. “Saturday Science” was the creation of his college classmate Ms. Mary Blanding who believed that if Black, Brown and underprivileged children between the ages of 6 and 14 in South Los Angeles were exposed to the sciences, math and critical thinking there would be no limit to what they could achieve in life. Today, there are over 165 medical doctors who are graduates of “Saturday Science”.
