LIS 775 Lisa Roberts
My assignment was to locate a not so well known person who was involved in the development of the Atomic Bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima Japan on August 6 1945
Reference Assignment
Brief History
The Manhattan Project was the project to develop the first nuclear weapon (atomic bomb) during World War II by the United States the United Kingdom and Canada The scientific research was directed by American physicist J Robert Oppenheimer
Why
ldquoThe Manhattan Projecthelliprdquo
With Otto Hahn a German Physicist being the first
to successful split an Atom and Germans Hitlerrsquos ldquoNew Orderrdquo taking place the race to create the first Atomic bomb began with the Secret making of this project that started as ldquoThe Manhattan Projectrdquo
hellipManhattan Project
My findings were pretty complex
However I was enlightened by an article entitled ldquoUnknown The Manhattan Projectrdquo written by a woman named Latti Ice Ganga Ganga of PHAET
Article was posted on a site called -a forum httpwwwsodaheadcom
About them httpwwwsodaheadcomabout-uscustom-pollsteam
My Findings
The article detailed several African American Scientist
that were involved in the development of the Atomic
Bomb Based on my research I was only able to locate the
bare minimum if any information at all about these
scientist However The Chicago Defender Ebony and Jet
Magazine specifically reference a scientist by the name of
Dr Lloyd Albert Quarterman
Article Detailed
Who was Dr Lloyd Albert Quarterman
Dr Lloyd A Quarterman was An African American Chemist Scientist
He was born May 31 1918 in Philadelphia PA
He received his BS from St Augustinersquos College in 1943 and his Masters from Northwestern University in 1952
Unknown Scientist of the A-Bomb ldquoHe is a scientist that is rarely mentioned in the histories of that
researchhelliprdquo Contemporary Biography V 4 pg 199
The Chemist Researcher
Worked under the direction of Enrico Fermi (background)
He worked at both Columbia University laboratory in New York City and The Hidden University of Chicago facility
He was predominantly involved in the ldquogaseous diffusion method of obtaining fissionable materialsrdquo

Quarterman was predominantly involved in the experiments that led to
what author Stephane Groueff has described the
gaseous diffusion method of obtaining fissionable
materialsrdquo
Sworn to Secrecy
Because of the nature of this assignment ldquoeach of the scientists was sworn to secret at that timerdquo
What his exact duties were no biographer or interviewer has ever documented
He was a hero as well as other black scientist He
demonstrated competence and high intelligence the African American community felt that equality and civil rights were on the rise
During a time when Brown vs Board was not established yet Dr Quarterman worked on a prestigious project where he performed the same jobs as his whites colleagues During this time blacks saw this as progresshellip

He died at Billings Hospital in Chicago after a long paralyzing ill he donated his body to science
