List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. Any website for details? Hello. And welcome to this day in history. I am your host Elise. Here is what happened on March 1st. Today, black students still make up only about 10% of all medical school matriculants. But that wasn't even always the case. On this day in 1864, Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first African American woman to earn a medical degree. She spent much of her career practicing community medicine in Boston. But after the Civil War, she traveled south to provide medical care to formerly enslaved
people. Surprising fact, Crumpler also authored one of the first medical manuals written by an African American doctor in the United States and by a woman. Also on this day in history, in 1692, the Salem Witch Trials began in Massachusetts. In 1932, the 20-month-old son of aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from the family's New Jersey mansion. And in 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps. Thanks for listening. That's all for today in history. Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe.
