Show moreBlack women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician, the first black female registered nurse, and the first nurse training program for blacks in the state. This study hopes to show that these black female healthcare pioneers and the healthcare institution played an integral role in the growth and welfare of black citizens and thus the development of the United States. Their work needs to be recognized because they took on a responsibility in a hostile environment created and sustained by the United States, but ultimately overcame obstacles nonetheless and made a lasting impact on the people and time in which they lived.

The discussion will familiarize the reader with the immense obstacles that deterred African American attorneys from gaining prominence and the struggles endured by black lawyers throughout the South. As true regionally, the majority of Florida's legal professionals could not afford to practice law exclusively and had to pursue other careers as their main source of income. Politics often emerged as the career of choice for black lawyers. As public figures these men accomplished remarkable feats and flourished as leaders of the black community.8 This essay, in a larger sense, attempts to provide fresh and helpful information concerning the black 7 See generally, Foner, Freedom ’s Lawmakers; Brown, Florida ’s ‘Black Public Oflicialsg Richardson, Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. 8 See generally, Richardson, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida; Woodson, The Negro Professional and the Community; Ward, Black Physicians in the Jim Crow South; Shofner, Nor Is It Over Yet.
