Black Chicago Teen, Keven Stonewall, Discovers Breakthrough In Colon Cancer Vaccine
When Keven Stonewall was in the fifth grade, he received four microscopes for Christmas from his parents. They did not realize then that his interest in biology would eventually lead him to discover a major breakthrough in the cure for colon cancer.
Colon cancer kills more Black People
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer among black men and women, according to The Cancer Prevention Foundation. Black people are diagnosed with colon cancer more than any other ethnic group.
Breakthrough results
Keven’s research earned him numerous awards, and he was a finalist for the Intel International Science and Engineer Fair in 2013. The results of his research were even presented at the national meeting for the Society for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer in Washington, D.C., and credit was given to Keven for his lead in the research.
This man has made a great contribution to society. He is a great inspiration to people out there, and just being a young black scientist as well will definitely help get more minorities and especially black men into pursuing and achieving their dreams. Lord protect this brother!
Thank you Keven Stonewall for making Black History!
