MFaulkner, and AStevenson, two health professional from Meharry Medical College, who talks about some of the issues associated with Africans and organ donations, while urging African Americans to be donors, Part 2

Meanwhile, Dr. Calendar had received a national grant to set up local minority donation and
transplantation education programs in cities across the nation. Meharry received one of those
awards as part of the Minority Organ and Tissue Transplantation Education Program (MOTTEP).
This program works with the Kidney Foundation, the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP), the Tennessee Donor Services, and the Lukaemenic Society , which
deals with bone marrow transplantation. "We hope to get more minorities to donate to
bone marrow transplantation, so that we can reach those who need bone marrow transplants as
well," said Dr. Faulkner.
DR, Roderick Stevenson, from New Orleans, Louisiana, is also a Meharry Medical College graduate. and Chief of Transplant Surgery at Meharry. Stevenson did his residency in General
Surgery at Howard University Hospital, where he trained under Dr. Clyde Calendar,
also a Meharry Medical College graduate. "While at Howard," said Stevenson, "I told Dr.
Calendar that I wanted to return to Meharry and do there what he was doing in donations and
transplantation at Howard."
