This article highlights the work of Black organizational psychologists and their considerable and ongoing contributions to industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology through scholarship, practice, and service. We focus our review on the influence of five Black scholar-practitioners who have earned the distinction of fellow in the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. We discuss how their work has enhanced our understanding of the integral role of diversity and inclusion across the employment cycle. We also highlight their contributions to service, mentorship, and the field more broadly to provide a holistic picture of their collective influence beyond their scholarship. Further, we offer recommendations for how their work can inform other subfields within psychology and elevate teaching and training beyond I-O. By amplifying the voices of these Black psychologists, we provide a guide for scholars and practitioners in I-O and related areas interested in incorporating diversity into their scholarship, teaching, and practice.
