She began her studies at the age of six in a one-room wooden schoolhouse two and one half miles from home, a journey made by foot come rain or shine. She entered high school at the age of sixteen and graduated from Shaw University eight years later.
After a teaching career, marrying, and motherhood, she decided to study medicine; she had been out of school twenty years. She enrolled in medical school, faced hostile male professors, much younger classmates, illness, and many obstacles but received medical degree in 1960. She became New York board certified in 1966 and practiced for several years at Harlem and Beth Abraham Hospitals.ver menos
