Black Brilliance in Exercise Science

In This Section We Have Black Pioneers in Many Areas of Exercise Science

The Mesa College Library has a variety of databases that focus on black history and other topics relating to diversity

You can start your own search using some of the databases below

• Black Life In America - Comprehensive coverage of the African American experience from the early 18th century to the present day

• Ethnic Diversity Source - This full-text database is a dedicated resource covering the culture, traditions, social treatment and lived experiences of different ethnic groups in America

• Ethnic News Watch - Database of articles published by ethnic and minority presses.

• Gale OneFile: Diversity Studies - Explores cultural differences, contributions and influences in the global community.

In the orange tabs on the left, you will find information about individuals from the black community that propelled various areas of exercise science forward.
