Abstract：
African Americans make up less than 3% of veterinarians despite being over 14% of the population. The lack of diversity stems from a history of racial inequality, Southern schools and universities were not integrated until the 1950s, and there is only one historically Black veterinary school (Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine [TUCVM]), which was founded in 1945. Since the founding of TUCVM, the number of African American veterinarians skyrocketed. With the diversity efforts of veterinary schools, mentoring and outreach programs, and the founding of new veterinary schools (including another HBCU), the diversity in veterinary medicine will increase exponentially.
摘要：
尽管非洲裔美国人占兽医的14％以上，但仍不到3％。缺乏多样性源于种族不平等的历史，南方学校和大学直到20世纪50年代才整合起来,历史上只有一所黑人兽医学校（塔斯基吉大学兽医学院[TUCVM]），成立于1945年。自TUCVM成立以来，非洲裔美国兽医的数量猛增。随着兽医学校的多元化努力，指导和外展计划，和新的兽医学校（包括另一个HBCU）的成立，兽医学的多样性将成倍增加。
