The IAAHF has existed for more than a quarter-century with the responsibility for embracing, honoring, magnifying, and fostering accomplishments by African Americans and thereby striving to provide examples of achievement for the generations of African Americans that follow. The aim being to honor those having distinguished reputations in business, education, government, and other sectors of public and private service. Among those thus far inducted into the IAAHF is George Washington Carver, who was an agricultural scientist and inventor that graduated and worked at Iowa State University. Recent contact with Iowa State University informs us that inductions into the IAAHF have been postponed until setbacks, owing to the current pandemic, are under control. Until then, it is advised that you think of an African American, who has made ‘exemplary contributions’ to the quality of life for all Iowans and be ready to nominate her or him for induction into the IAAHF.
