As part of a continuing effort to expand the information available through the online
OSU Psychology Museum, we are proud to present African-American Pioneers in Psychology.
You will find brief biographies for each early African-American psychologists. The
purpose of this page is not provide a comprehensive overview of these men and women
of African descent who contributed to psychology. Instead, this page should serve
as an overview to the area, serving as a starting point for those who wish to explore
this topic further.
Several people have contributed to the development of this site: Dr. Charles Abramson
led the development of this site, while the information on the psychologists profiled
within came from the research of Roy Barnett, Jr. The graphics for the site were designed
by Dr. Caleb Lack. If you have any questions about the information on this page, please
do not hesitate to contact Dr. Charles Abramson.
