Moment in Black History
James McCune Smith (1813-1865)
 The first African-American to earn a medical degree (University of Glasgow, Scotland)
and practice medicine. In 1837, he returned to New York, N.Y., and later became the
first African-American to own and manage a pharmacy. In 1846, he was the only physician
working at the Colored Orphan Asylum, an institution where he treated sick children
by administering the smallpox vaccine and caring for other diseases such as measles
and tuberculosis.
