Many people know that I am in vet school. Other than Tuskegee, which is about 50% Black, there isn't a lot of diversity in the veterinary world. This is a problem, and the American Veterinary Medical Association has recognized that and wants to change it. I thought this article was very interesting. It is about two vets, one white, one black, who started working together in the late 60s and are both big proponents of diversity. Before I had my interview at Tuskegee's vet school, I'd never actually seen a Black veterinarian. There is one in a neighboring city to my hometown, but I had never met him. Other minorities are also very underrepresented, and hopefully one day this will change
