She trained at Hampton University in Virginia before moving north in 1910. Many others would follow her as part of the Great Migration. 🏥🏥🏥 Edwards is just one of many Brooklynites now featured in our new exhibition, “Taking Care of Brooklyn: Stories of Sickness & Health,” on view at our Pierrepont St. location! 🏥🏥🏥 Portrait of Mary Susan Bailey Edwards, circa 1920, v1990.14.1; Brooklyn Historical Society. #takingcareofbk #WomenInMedicine #WOCinSTEM https://www.instagram.com/p/By3StyNAZ8y/?igshid=1gcsvxrpvua9f
