I chose to do Patricia Bath because I researched her story and I feel that she was an amazing visionary (the pun was intended) ! I emailed her to ask for permission to use some photographs and she graciously gave me permission to use two photos. We conversed on the phone and sent each other emails. She very much enjoyed this resource and bought it once to give it away. Sadly, she died May 30, 2019 of complications from cancer so I feel I've lost a friend.
