Dr. Robert (Dr. Bert) Davis

Veterinarian, Biology Teacher, President and CEO of America’s Black Holocaust Museum

“How do we change the narrative of Black people in America?”

Education is in his DNA. As the child of a teacher, Dr. Bert Davis had to read books every day, in addition to his assigned school books. This foundation gave him a love of sharing knowledge and the understanding that real education starts at home. As a biology teacher and veterinarian, Dr. Bert speaks about the lightbulb moments that happen when students engage with animals, and the power of attending a HBCU, where you are considered more than a number. Dr. Davis believes that education serves as the key to unlock opportunities, and is a key factor for economic development.

In addition to his role as President and CEO of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, Dr. Davis taught at Tuskegee University as well as Harold Washington College.
