DAHLGREN, Va. - Dr. Jeremiah Williams, keynote speaker at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) 2017 African American and Black History Month Observance, explains the factors influencing the academic achievement of African Americans. As President of the 100 Black Men of America Inc., Virginia Peninsula Chapter, he works to improve the quality of life within communities while enhancing educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. Williams also credits the Navy for his success: “I didn’t realize how smart I was until I joined the Navy. The recruiter told me I qualified for every program the Navy offers. When I went to nuke (Nuclear Power) school, and among the last ones standing, I felt I could conquer the world. The Navy saved me and I appreciated that.” (U.S. Navy Photo by George Smith/Released)
