Charles Drew was an African American surgeon, researcher, and educator. In the 1930's, Drew, already a doctor, was working on a degree in medical science from Columbia University. He discovered a way to store blood plasma, the watery part of blood, so it keeps for a long time. Blood plasma can save the lives of people who have lost a lot of blood. Plasma it also has a long storage life which makes it easier to transport.

A few years later, the U.S. government called on Drew to address a far greater challenge. He was asked to help save the lives of soldiers and civilians under attack in Britain during World War II. Thousands of soldiers were becoming badly wounded in battle. they lost a lot of blood and would eventually die. As a solution, Drew began work on a project called Blood for Britain that greatly improved the wounded's chances of survival. He came up with a safe way to collect blood plasma from donors in the U.S. and send it to Great Britain, where wounded people needed blood.

With a heavy sigh, Jeet headed outside, which seemed to him like the most boring place on Earth.
