How Black Doctors Shaped California's History

Since California’s first Black doctor began practicing in the 1850s, African American physicians have been instrumental in the development of California’s medical sciences. Led by historian and creator of the California African American Freedom Trail, John William Templeton, our January Collaboratory will honor the historical figures who broke through countless barriers to serve their communities and alter the course of history.

Remote access ticket is available.
