FAMU hospital was established around 1911 and was FAMU hospital was established around 1911 and was one of the only hospitals to treat blacks and whites through the 1950s. FAMU became the first school to offer an accredited undergraduate nursing program in the state of Florida. One of the major reasons for the opening of the medical facility was to create the nursing program. The nurses, teachers, lawyers, and other graduates of FAMU would be instrumental at the beginning of Tallahassee’s black middle class. The hospital closed as a result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in 1971. The former hospital building is now the Foote-Hilyer Administration Building and operates as the student health center for the students of FAMU.

Dr. Nathan Mossell was the first African American Dr. Nathan Mossell was the first African American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1882. Seeing the need for adequate medical care for blacks in Philadelphia and a place where black doctors & nurses could receive training to earn the professional skills for the medical field, Mossell established the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School. "In the first year of operation, despite running a deficit of $681.62, the hospital treated nearly 1,000 Black Philadelphians in both the inpatient and outpatient wards with conditions that “ranged from alcoholism to whooping cough.” In that year, five patients died at the hospital, but none of the deaths occurred during the 31 operations. Three women gave birth at the hospital in that year as well." After years of challenges, mergers, financial woes, and successes, the hospital closed in 1973. #BlackHistoryMonth #HeritageSalon #AfricanAmericanHistoricSites #BlackNurses #BlackDoctors #BlackHistory #Philadelphia #FrederickDouglassMemorialHospitalandSchoolforNurses #ViviennerGrant #IAmTheAfricanAmericanMuseumActivist
Jacksonville Florida's first hospital for African Jacksonville Florida's first hospital for African Americans was Brewster Hospital, which was established around 1901. The hospital was the only healthcare facility that serviced blacks in the city. Brewster Hospital was the first training hospital for African-Americans in the nation. Brewster’s first home still stands today in Jacksonville, just west of downtown in La Villa at 915 West Monroe Street. #BlackHistoryMonth ❤️🖤💚#HeritageSalon #AfricanAmericanHistoricSites #AfricanAmericanHistoricSitesInFlorida #BlackNurses #BlackDoctors #BlackHistory #BrewsterHospitalNursingTrainingCenter #IAmTheAfricanAmericanMuseumActivist
Since my mother passed I have pondered whether or Since my mother passed I have pondered whether or not I should move forward with my Black History Month Celebration as part of my publication Heritage Salon. Losing your mother is very difficult and the magnitude of the grief is tremendous. This morning, I remembered how my mother was determined and push through even in her suffering. In honor of Black History Month and my mother who was a nurse, this year I will highlight African American historical sites that operated as black hospitals and training schools for nurses and doctors. I hope you will take this weekly journey with me to learn about Black history surrounding the medical field in honor of THE BEST nurse, my mommy Vivienner Grant. ❤️ Be sure to follow Heritage Salon on Facebook and Instagram all month! #BlackHistoryMonth #HeritageSalon #AfricanAmericanHistoricSites #BlackNurses #BlackDoctors #BlackHistory
People wonder why I keep Heritage Salon going? Thi People wonder why I keep Heritage Salon going? This is why! An African American museum in Minnesota was excluded in a feature from a local newspaper. I created this publication to tell the stories that ARE NOT told in mainstream media. So glad I was able to interview Ms. Tina Burnside and her colleague a while ago! #HeritageSalon #IAmTheAfricanAmericanMuseumActivist

Please refer to the information and link below for the ingredients as well as the back story. The suggested spirit is Uncle Nearest brand. The cocktail was curated by Solid Light by the request of our Executive Director. Vedet specifically requested Uncle Nearest as the brand sheds light on the former slave that created the recipe for a brand that has sold for over 150 years. “It was a great experience to work with SolidLight on the signature cocktail. It was extremely important to me to identify a brand that that had ties to African Americans in a way that was more than about alcohol. The story of Uncle Nearest made sense to me, and for us to be able to introduce the signature cocktail to our members for #AAAM2020 is a special treat. I understand that not everyone may want to drink and that’s absolutely fine. I am, however, thankful to SolidLight for making certain that the signature cocktail speaks to our members in a way includes legacy and remembrance of a former slave who truly changed the trajectory of a whole brand,” said Vedet Coleman-Robinson, Executive Director of AAAM.

Posted @withregram • @bethunenhs "This is Your L Posted @withregram • @bethunenhs "This is Your Life: Mary McLeod Bethune" On March 5, 1949, our beloved #MaryMcLeodBethune appeared on an episode of the popular radio (later television) program, "This is Your Life." The documentary series was broadcast on #NBCradio from 1948 to 1952, and on #NBCtelevision 1952 to 1961. It was originally hosted by its producer #RalphEdwards. In the show, the host surprises a guest, and proceeds to take them through their life in front of an audience, including special guest appearances by colleagues, friends, and family. Mrs. Bethune was a superstar! #WomensHistoryMonth Below, see host Ralph Edwards pictured with Mrs. Bethune at the taping, and from left to right: Arabella Denniston, Albert McLeod Bethune, Cecillia Smith, Leroy Bazell, Sadie Franklin, Charlotte Ford Clark, and Lucy Mitchell.

Posted @withregram • @thejaxsonmag Growing up in #Detroit, Rita Jean Eggleton Carter Perry was actively engaged in Detroit's Civil Rights during her youth, marching in protests with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Before relocating to #Jacksonville in 1972, she also worked in the music industry with Motown and Stax Records and recording artists such as Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. In 1986, vowing to only print "positive" news that would empower and educate the black community, Perry became the first African American founding woman publisher of a weekly newspaper, The Jacksonville Free Press in Jacksonville and Florida.
