In 1959, Dr. Marion\u00a0G.\u00a0Hood<\/b> applied to Emory School of Medicine, but was denied consideration for admission due to his race during a painful time of segregation in this country. Despite this obstacle, Dr. Hood went on to have a long and distinguished career in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. During a virtual celebration of Juneteenth, Emory School of Medicine will formally apologize to Dr. Hood and invite him to share the rest of his story with our SOM community.<\/p>\n
His message of tenacity and resilience\u200b in the quest to be a physician will inspire our students, faculty and staff.<\/p>\n
