DESCRIPTION:This lecture illuminates the rhetorical significance and cultur
 al activism of the first three African American women who earned the title
  of physician in the United States. Drs. Rebecca Lee Crumple\, Rebecca L. 
 Cole\, and Susan Smith McKinney-Steward were the first African American wo
 men to climb to the rank of medical doctor\, even as David Jones Peck was 
 the first African American man to graduate in 1847\, and Elizabeth Blackwe
 ll was the first white woman to receive a “medical diploma” in 1849\, 
 from medical colleges in the United States. As archival records show\, the
  first “Colored Doctresses” published medical discourses on public hea
 lth as instruments of professional and cultural uplift. Collectively\, the
  African American women used their professional knowledge\, training\, and
  medical crafts to challenge the status quo of whiteness\, race\, and gend
 er. Individually\, the Black women were authors and community leaders in t
 heir own right\, who wrote for\, about\, and with the  communities they se
 rved. The nineteenthcentury African American physicians use their afrafemi
 nist voices and agency to uniquely engage medical\, cultural\, political\,
  and social norms\, after the American Civil War and into the progressive 
 era in the United States.
