In 1956, Jim Watson told my father, a brown man, that he would never get a job at Harvard and it was a miracle he had been admitted . Harvard's Board of Trustees saw it differently & appointed dad as an Assistant Professor and Director of the Harvard Agassiz Observatory BEFORE he finished his Ph.D!
James Watson, infamous racist and sexist who try to deny Rosalind Franklin credit for her role in discovering the structure of DNA, has died at age 97.
