Dr. James McCune Smith was the first African-American to get a medical degree. He was born into slavery, studied in Scotland and eventually practiced in Manhattan and Brooklyn. He broke barriers for Black physicians and improved medicine for Black people. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/GPS4l2ACjT — PolitiTweet.org
