African Americans in the United States are the largest ethnic group in need of organ transplants at 35%. In Wisconsin, more than 2,000 people are currently on the transplant list, and 400 of them are Black.
This according to Colleen McCarthy, vice president of Versiti Organ & Tissue Donation, a federally designated organ procurement organization.
“Organ donation is a rare opportunity. Every 10 minutes, another name is added to the national transplant waiting list, and every day 22 people die waiting for their second chance for an organ transplant,” she said.

Campus leaders and students gathered on Saturday for a dedication ceremony for the Divine Nine Garden Plaza project on East Campus Mall. The campus project will create a garden space and install historical markers recognizing the contributions of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the nine historically Black Greek-letter fraternities and sororities in the nation, also known as the Divine Nine. The site, currently a grassy area with park benches, is across East Campus Mall from the Walgreens on West Johnson Street. 1 Chancellor Rebecca Blank, undergraduates Israel Oby and Nyla Mathis and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor (left to right), listen during the dedication ceremony.

Nyla Mathis remembers her heart fluttering, like a first crush.
She was a freshman back then, attending her first event sponsored by one of the historically Black sororities on the UWÂâMadison campus.
âI was a little nervous, because all of these women were so distinguished and so high-achieving,â says Mathis, now a senior. âBut they were also so down-to-earth and relatable. It immediately felt like home.â
