Charles Richard Drew is an American, aka African-American. He was born June 3, 1904 in Washington, D.C. and died April 1, 1950 in North Carolina. He was an American physical and medical researcher in the field of blood transfusion and improving the techniques of blood storage. He used his knowledge to help others form blood banks. Many Caucasians were often under the assumption that if a black blood donor gave blood and the Caucasian were to receive that blood it would automatically make them part black. Dr. Drew fought against racial segregation. Dr. Drew was also the first African American surgeon to serve as an examiner on the American Board of Surgery.
