February is Black History Month! Join diversity club in recognizing Black historical figures that have greatly impacted our world.
Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first Black female doctor in the United States.
After attending the prestigious Massachusetts private school West-Newton English and Classical School,
she worked as a nurse for eight years until applying to medical school in 1860 at the New England Female Medical College.
She was accepted and would go on to graduate four years later.
Though little is known of her career, PBS reported that she worked as a physician for the Freedmen's Bureau for the State of Virginia.
She later practiced in Boston's predominantly Black neighborhood at the time, Beacon Hill, and published A Book of Medical Discourses in Two Parts.
We will conclude with a quote by Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler,
“Selfish prudence is too often allowed to come between duty and human life”. On behalf of Diversity club, Happy Black History Month.
