African Americans have substantially influenced so many different areas of our society. During Black History Month, we honor the achievements of African American leaders, activists, teachers, entrepreneurs, artists and athletes, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Mary McLeod Bethune, Madame CJ Walker, Langston Hughes and Jackie Robinson.
This month, you ve heard from fellow leaders of the Tyson Foods African Ancestry Alliance Business Resource Group as we have shared information to continue building awareness and understanding around the contributions of African Americans, both past and present.
This week, we d like to introduce you to some lesser-known African American figures who have made lasting impressions on the food industry: chef and cookbook author Abby Fisher, and inventors Lloyd August Hall and Frederick McKinley Jones.
