N egro History
Notes

In 1857, an apt young slave named James
Derham was born. He became the man-ser-
want of John Kearsley, medical student
AS he learned, so did Derham, figuratively
reading over his masters shoulder. Kearsley
got medical degree, but Derham knew
medicine, too.
After serving with Dr. George West, who
bought him when Kearsley died, British
regimental surgeon and later with Dr.. Rob-
ert Dove who took him to New Orleans and
allowed him to purchase his freedom, Der
ham, at 26, began practicing medicine among
slaves. But his skills were so great that !
soon whites were demanding his services.
Thus Derham became the first American
Negro physician of record. BY 1890 there
were oO9; by 1910, 3,409; by 1880, 3,770
and by 1912, 1910.
Today, there are 4 500 Negro physicians
in the United States, most of them graduates
of the nations two Negro medical colleges
Meharry in Nashville, Tennessee and
Howard in Washington, DC. The total num-
Der of medical men in the United States,
according to the 1859 directory of the Amer
ican Medical Association, is $50 ,621.
Economics has had large bearing on
limiting the number of Negro physicians.
It takes 10 years to be a doctor, sizeable
chunk from young mans life. Thousands
have skimped, saved and sacrificed to be-
come doctors. Philanthropy has been an
aid to many more.
But the greatest boon has been the CT
Bill under which the Federal Government
UNDERWRITERS the tuition and expenses of
education. Though it can't be corroborated
ic 11v holi OF
Negro doctors were graduated during the
decade after the close of World War II than
during any similar period.
If there is any difference between Negro
and white physicians, it might be that fewer
Negroes are specialists. Many who are,
also operate as general practitioners.
This is because in many communities
Negro physicians are not admitted to the
staffs of local hospitals and are frequently
barred from membership in local professional
societies.
In the South and in many small communi
ties, Negro doctors have had to establish
small hospital set-ups of their own in order
to operate and follow through treatment of
patients This situation has forced the es-
tablishment of Negro hospitals in many
communities. Negroes also organized the
National Medical Association more than
so years ago because they were barred from
the American Medical Association The
all-Negro organization persists today even
though ANA has dropped it's racial bars.
To a larger extent than is generally be-
lieved white patronize Negro physicians.
In fact, there are instances of small COM
munities where the physician is the only
Negro inhabitant Conversely large numbers
of Negroes call upon white medical men in
preference to their own.
Whereas large number of white medical
schools used to bar Negroes, the tendency
today is to establish a quota limiting the
number of Negroes that can be enrolled at
any one time.
AS in other fields, the progress of the
Negro in the field of medicine has been
phenomenal considering the handicaps of
race and economics
