Letter from William A. Lester, Jr. to Norman Mineta, December 6, 1977
- 1977-Dec-06
William A. Lester, Jr. (1937-) writes to Congressman Norman Yoshio Mineta (1931-2022) about the World Black Researchers Association (WBRA). Lester asks Mineta if there are any concerns relating to U.S. policy and the upcoming WBRA meeting of which he should be aware.
WBRA, which was established around 1976, was a group that worked against racial limits in science and technology. Its goal was to bring together Black scientists from all over the world to make technological and cultural progress for the Black community. This helped promote teamwork and the sharing of ideas among scientists from different places, especially between Africa and other continents.
