Editor’s note: An upcoming special feature in Optica’s journals, “Amplifying Black Voices in Optics and Photonics,” will highlight the research contributions of a variety of Black physicists worldwide. To provide context for that feature, OPN staff recently talked with six pioneering Black scientists in the United States about the arc of their careers, and about their perspectives on the experience of underrepresented communities in physics.
