History is being rewritten inside one of America’s most prestigious hospitals.
For the first time ever, the Trauma and Acute Care Surgery service at Johns Hopkins Hospital is being led by five Black surgeons. All which are senior residents, marking a historic milestone for the institution.
The team includes highly accomplished physicians with two PhDs and six master’s degrees among them, including Dr. Lawrence B. Brown and Dr. Zachary Numa. Together, they are leading care at a Level 1 trauma center in a field where only 6% of surgeons nationwide are Black.
And the symbolism runs deep.
There was a time when Black patients were not allowed to be treated at Johns Hopkins. Today, Black surgeons are leading critical care inside its walls.
As the team shared, this moment represents “our ancestors’ wildest dreams.” 🖤

#RestInPower to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Today, we honor a giant whose voice, courage, and love for our people shaped generations. Reverend Jesse Jackson was not only a civil rights icon—he was family to the NAACP.
His legacy sits at the heart of our work and at the center of this nation’s fight for justice. We carry his light forward. naacp.org/articles/naacp…

The "Harlem Hellfighters" were the 369th Infantry Regiment, composed entirely of Black soldiers. They confronted enemies abroad (and at home), during WWI in 1917-1918. They received a Congressional Gold Medal 🏅 in 2021.
