'''Charles Drew''' was born 1904 and became an outstanding [[athlete]] at [[Amherst College]], but he wasn't interested in his studies much until he enrolled in a [[biology]] class. In the mid-20's, he decided to become a doctor because he loved biology. He moved to [[Montreal]], [[Canada]] and saved for his medical education at McGill University. Drew was an excellent student and developed an interest in the area of [[blood]] [[transfusion]]s.

When he graduated with a doctorate, Drew accepted a position as pathology instructor at Howard University. He continued to study the possiblities of storing blood over a period of time. Because of his curiousity, Drew discovered that [[plasma]], the clear substance in which red and [[white blood cell]]s were suspended, could be stored by itself longer than the complete blood. This led to easier transfusions and eventually a [[blood bank]].

During [[World War II]], blood banks were established all over [[England]] and the [[United States]]. Drew was able devote himself to researching plasma full-time. The [[American Red Cross]] asked Charles Drew to be the director of Red Cross' plasma bank for thousands of serviceman. He soon resigned, however, because the Red Cross had a policy of differentiating the blood drawn from [[Segregation|blacks and whites]].
