📢 You’re invited!

Join us online on 🗓 11 March 2026 at 🕙 11:00 CET for the launch of the French version of the WHO online training course:

Meet Jesse O. Thomas, the visionary educator who forged the path for future African Americans at the Red Cross.

In 1943, Jesse made history by becoming the first African American to be hired as executive staff at our national headquarters. He then spent the next 10 years of his career spearheading the Red Cross' journey toward racial integration.

Other ways Jesse broke barriers and gained national prominence include:
📚 Becoming the protégé of iconic author and educator, Booker T. Washington.
📚 Gaining the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt while studying at Tuskegee Institute.
📚 Opening the Field Secretary Office of the National Urban League, becoming the first person of color to work in an exclusively white organization.
We are grateful for Jesse's transformative contributions to the Red Cross that helped make our lifesaving mission what it is today.
