When reggae star Bob Marley died in May 1982 from melanoma, a type of skin cancer, dermatologist and recent AAAS Annual Meeting presenter Adewole Adamson, M.D, M.P.P. was not yet born. But in May 2019, thirty-seven years later, Adamson said that sunscreen would not have saved the legend or any other Black person. If sunscreen was important in the prevention of melanoma in dark-skinned patients, then why have we never heard of an epidemic of melanoma in sub-Saharan Africa? he argued in a recent op-ed that appeared in The Washington Post. The piece not only caused a spirited debate in the African American community, but it was also discussed on NBC s Today Show and the New York Times. Unhappy about how the discussion was handled on NBC with little to no scientific input, Adamson took matters into his own hands.
