became the first Black woman to graduate from medical school in the U.S.

Despite facing extreme racism & sexism, she practiced medicine with a focus on women & children. She also provided medical care to freed slaves.

In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published her Book of Medical Discourses, which was one of the first medical publications written by a Black author. There are no existing photos of her. https://cfmedicine.nlm.nih.gov/physicians/biography_73.html #HistoryRemix #history #science

@ferricoxide @jbf1755 Not only Christo, it's the majority beliefs, Christianity in the west, Islam in the middle-east and parts of Africa and Asia, Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent, Sino-communism in China, Orthodox-christianity in Russia, Judaism in Israel. Religious/ideological toxicity is everywhere.
