Description

This week, we’re going to talk about a woman who studied medicine at a time when very few women could access higher education at all, and an African American who became a physician at a time when half of this country believed that she could be owned by another American.  Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler would study in Boston and become America’s first black female doctor.  Listen to this week's show for her story!
