| Abstract | Professor, entrepreneur, and lawyer Ray Floyd Wilson was born on February 20, 1926, in Giddings, Texas. Drafted by the U.S. Navy in 1944, before he could attend college, Wilson received his B.S. degree from Huston-Tillotson College, his M.S. degree in 1951, from Texas Southern University (TSU). He was the first African American student to receive a Ph.D. in chemistry and math from the University of Texas at Austin in 1953. Wilson then joined the faculty of TSU in Houston. After achieving tenure in only four years, Wilson continued to teach at TSU for the next forty-two years. While teaching, Wilson found success in the real estate and contracting business, and acted as an advisor for the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and Congressman Mickey Leland. Wilson authored eighty-three different articles that have appeared in national and international science journals. |
