	Dr. Charles R. Drew: American Inventor - EnchantedLearning.com
		Charles Richard Drew (June 3, 1904 - April 1, 1950) was an American medical doctor and surgeon who started the idea of a blood bank and a system for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (he found that plasma kept longer than whole blood).

		Drew resigned his position as director after the US War Department issued a directive stating that blood taken from white donors should not be mixed with blood taken from black donors.

	Charles Drew myths
		Drew's actual contribution was mostly organizational: He was medical supervisor for the "Blood for Britain" program to ship blood plasma from the United States to British soldiers during the early part of World War II, and was assistant director for a subsequent national blood program to benefit US armed forces.
		The fact is, Drew did not develop blood plasma in any of its forms, nor did he perfect blood transfusion with blood plasma, as is sometimes claimed in newspapers and popular magazines, in children's books, on television, and even in some history books.
		Wynes shows that Drew was not responsible for the breakthrough scientific or medical discoveries for which he is today so often credited.
