He was the first black man in America to hold a medical degree, and the first African - American to open and run a pharmacy. But America slammed it's doors in his face, and you won't believe what they did. Next, meet James mccune Smith, the genius they tried to bury. Born into slavery, And eighteen thirteen, James was denied college in his own country. So what did he do ? He sailed across the ocean to Scotland and came back a doctor. He earned three degrees in Scotland outshined his peers. But back in America he was rejected by the American Medical Association because he was black. Still, he kept healing and kept fighting. He opened the first black owned pharmacy in the United States. Treated patients of every race. You saw science to crush racist lies in books and debates. He didn't just practice medicine, he changed it by history erased him. No textbooks, no statues, no glory. Why ? Because America wasn't ready to celebrate this genius. In eighteen, sixty three, a racist mob burned the orphanage where he cared for black children. He lost his law, life's work, but never his courage. Finally, in twenty twenty one, the University of Glasgow named a building and a scholarship after him. It took over one hundred and fifty years, But the world is finally paying attention. He changed medicine and fought for truth, and they buried his name. It's time to Bring it back. Share this so his name will live on forever. Je James mccune Smith, Share Believe, Inspire blacks be.
