Sampson graduated from high school in 1951 from Lanier High School in
Jackson, Mississippi. He then attended Morehouse College for a couple of
years before transferring to Purdue University where he became a member
of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. He received a Bachelor's degree in
science from Purdue University in 1956. He graduated with an MS degree
in engineering from the University of California in 1961. Sampson also
received his MS in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign in 1965, and his PhD in 1967.
He is the first African American to earn a Ph.D.in Nuclear Engineering
in the United States. Some of his accomplishments include being a member
of the United States Navy between the years 1962 and 1964 and earning
an Atomic Energy Commission honor between 1964 and 1967. Later he was
awarded the Black Image Award from Aerospace Corporation in 1982. He was
awarded the Blacks in Engineering, Applied Science Award, and prize for
education, by the Los Angeles Council of Black Professional Engineers
in 1983. In June 2007, Sampson was married to Laura Howzell Young in St.
Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Young-Sampson is a professor in the
College of Education at California State University San Bernardino.
Sampson was employed as a research chemical engineer at the U.S. Naval
Weapons Center, China Lake, California, in the area of high energy solid
propellants and case bonding materials for solid rocket motors. Sampson
also served as the Director of Mission Development and Operations of
the Space Test Program at the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo,
California.
His patents included a binder system for propellants and explosives and
a case bonding system for cast composite propellants. Both inventions
are related to solid rocket motors.
On July 6, 1971 he was awarded a patent, with George H. Miley, for a
gamma-electrical cell, a device that produces a high voltage from
radiation sources, primarily gamma radiation, with proposed goals of
generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor.
Additionally, the patent cites the cell's function as a detector with
self power and construction cost advantages over previous detectors.
Sampson is a writer and film historian. He wrote the book Blacks in
Black and White: A Source Book on Black Films, which examines often
overlooked African American film makers and entertainers from the first
half of the 20th Century. In addition he authored The Ghost Walks: A
Chronological History of Blacks in Show Business, 1865-1910. Sampson
produces documentary films on African American film makers. In 2005 he
published "Singin' on the Ether Waves: a Chronological History of
African Americans in Radio and Television Programming, 1925-1955" (two
vols, 1270 pages), Scarecrow Press, Lanham, Maryland, and Oxford, UK,
2005.
Sampson is associated with the Board of Directors of Los Angeles
Southwest College Foundation, as well as a technical consultant to the
Historical Black Colleges and Universities Program.
In 1971 Sampson was awarded a patent for the "gamma-electric cell." This technology was used in the cellular phone.
The Black Race has always been great contributors of Nations and have contributed to the success-fulness and advancement of many Nations as well making the USA what She is today!
Afrikans are still inventing useful technologies. A Ghanaian, Mr Freddie Green, has
invented a power-generating equipment that produces electricity using
compressed air. Apostle Safo Kantanka of Ghana manufactured in Ghana a four wheel drive vehicle Kantanka Onantefo I. It is the second vehicle manufactured by him after his saloon car manufactured in 1990, also a four-wheel drive vehicle. All of the Apostles vehicles, the entire body and diesel engine of Kantanka Onantefo, and all of his vehicles were developed in Ghana using local materials. See more about Kantanka Onantefo.
Information also available from International Black Inventors Museum. The following video also tells of Afrikan inventors:
Kantanka Onantefo I is a four wheel drive manufactured manually and wholly in Ghana by Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, The Star of Africa, in the year 2006.
It is the second vehicle locally manufactured by him after his saloon car ( which was manufactured in 1998). It also the first four wheel drive manufactured by him.
Like all his cars, the entire body and diesel engine of Kantanka Onantefo were developed by him in Ghana using local materials. - See more at: http://www.africarm.org/kantanka-onantefo-documentary-1790/#sthash.auvxKQJ3.dpuf
