Dr. James Andrew Harris (March 26, 1932 – December 12, 2000) was a nuclear chemist who was involved in the discovery of elements 104 and 105 (rutherfordium and dubnium). He is known for being the first African American to contribute to the discovery of new elements. He was drafted and served in the Army as a personnel supervisor specialist. He graduated from McClymonds High School in Oakland. He returned to Texas where he attended Huston-Tillotson College. He entered college on a music scholarship but switched to studying chemistry and received a BS. He received an MS in Public Administration at California State University, Hayward. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from Huston-Tillotson College. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. His first job in chemical research was as a radiochemist at Tracerlab Inc, he worked there for five years. He left to work in the isotope division in the nuclear chemistry department of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at UC Berkeley. His work at the lab involved studying beta decay in the Beta Spectroscopy Group. He worked on a project to improve neutron activation analysis with germanium semiconducting detectors. He then joined the Heavy Isotopes Production Group on the team tasked with producing new heavy elements via atom bombardment. His job was to design and purify targets that would be used in Berkeley's Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator to discover elements 104 and 105. These targets needed minimal impurities of elements such as lead to work. He and his colleagues conducted what they called the “first aqueous chemistry of element 104”, to determine how the new element behaved and thus where it should be placed on the periodic table. He took a position with the Berkeley Lab Office of Equal Opportunity. He was promoted to Head of the Engineering and Technical Services Division. He worked with students in grade school and at the university level to encourage African American students into the sciences. This work earned him numerous awards from organizations. He married Helen Harris (1957-2000) and together the two raised five children. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQLb1hL1gp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"But at twelve o’clock that night we saw a little flag coming down and another flag went up. The old Union Jack flag came down and the new flag of Ghana went up. This was a new nation now, a new nation being born. And when Prime Minister Nkrumah stood up before his people out in the polo ground and said, “We are no longer a British colony, we are a free, sovereign people,” all over that vast throng of people we could see tears. And I stood there thinking about so many things. Before I knew it, I started weeping. I was crying for joy. And I knew about all of the struggles, and all of the pain, and all of the agony that these people had gone through for this moment."

It’s my Founders’s Day 🤙🏿❄️🦍
