Abstract	We have developed and implemented a change to our General Chemistry curriculum that makes the point that "not all chemists are white men." This builds on recent textbook analyses, which showed that General Chemistry textbooks overwhelmingly and unnecessarily focus on the biographies of scientists that are white men. We demonstrate a way to highlight contributions from female chemists and chemists of color to illustrate General Chemistry concepts. We describe how this work could be extended and used in tandem with other curriculum efforts to increase the odds that female students and students of color persist to success in chemistry.
