Day 12 of Black History Month challenge: One black history post everyday for the entire month. . . William Augustus Hinton was the first Black professor at Harvard Medical School and the first African American to publish an academic textbook. As a bacteriologist, pathologist and educator, he was a pioneer in the field of public health and earned an international reputation as a medical researcher with his work on the detection and treatment of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases. Hinton developed a test for syphilis, which, because of its accuracy was used by the United States Public Health Service. . . In 1948, in recognition of his contributions as a serologist and public health bacteriologist, Hinton was elected a life member of the American Social Science Association. The serology lab at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Laboratory Institute Building was named for him. And in 1949, Hinton was named clinical professor at Harvard Medical School. He was the first African American to be offered such an honor at the school. Hinton also worked as a special consultant to the U.S. Public Health Service and taught at Tufts University and Simmons College. . . #blackhistorymonth #blackauthors #harvarduniversity #blackharvard #schoolastic #blackachievers #diabetesawareness #bacteria #pathologist #educator #syphilis #healthyliving (at Chicago Downtown) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eR_SCg1qp/?igshid=2807o29lmxsz
