Abstract: Growing up during an era in which opportunities were scarce for African Americans, John Brooks Slaughter had a series of unexpected professional experiences, as well as good fortune, that led him to the directorship of the National Science Foundation, the leadership of two educational institutions and culminated in his position as a professor of education and engineering at USC. In this presentation he will talk about that journey, some of the things he learned and the people who helped him on the way.
