This exhibit is a collaborative effort between the National Library of Medicine, the largest medical library in the world, and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture in Baltimore, the largest African American museum on the east coast of the United States. It is a celebration of the contributions of African American academic surgeons to medicine and medical education.

Please stop by the entranceway to Himmelfarb to view this attractive and informative exhibit, which will be on view through September 30, 2007.

If you haven't had a chance to see the show yet, it will remain up around the first floor of the library through the end of April. Everything in the show is by students, faculty, and staff of the GWUMC, so come by and see how your colleagues' talents extend beyond their academic and clinical work.

All items will be donated to Bread for the City, a local non-profit organization serving low income residents of Washington, DC.
