George Calvin Royal Jr (born August 5, 1921) is one of a small number of first-generation African-American microbiologists. When he first attended university in 1939, only two American-born blacks had received a Ph.D. in the United States from an Ivy League institution. By 1957, when Royal received a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, a second generation of post- World War II students was beginning to enter the field. George C. Royal was also part of one of the few African-American husband-and-wife teams in science, working with Gladys W. Royal, Ph.D. on research supported by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. George C. Royal is a professor emeritus at Howard University.
