Black History Month: Tony Hansberry II
Feb. 4th, 2010 07:32 pmToday's person is a rather interesting story, and one that highlights how the major media tends to ignore it when black youth do positive things.
It is unclear at this point as to whether Tony Hansberry II will be an important figure in History, but I'm putting him here anyway because his achievement is outstanding for someone his age.
Fourteen year-old Tony Hansberry II invented a new surgical stitching technique that can be used to reduce surgical complications, as well as errors from less-experienced surgeons.
He did this, and he is not even in medical school! Tony Hansberry II attends (yes, attends - this was first reported a mere few months ago in 2009) a magnet school that allows kids to take advanced medical classes.
