520    The book provides significant insight into the factors 
       that affect the careers of these scientists and, 
       importantly, gives voice to the many men and women who 
       overcame discrimination, prejudice, and racism to build 
       successful scientific careers. Although 70 percent of 
       those interviewed felt that their careers had been 
       hindered by discrimination, less than a handful expressed 
       any regrets about choosing a career in chemistry. 
       Remarkably, these chemists refused to allow racism to 
       stifle their achievement. Although a disproportionate 
       number of the chemists had their birth origins in the 
       South, however, most pursued their careers outside the 
       region and branched out across the nation. Many of those 
       individuals had profound impacts in both industrial and 
       academic settings but this book also chronicles the 
       hardships that many faced. This book provides the 
       opportunity for a full range of voices, from a number of 
       perspectives, to be heard.
