In 1959, Emory University rejected
21-year-old Marion Gerald Hood from its School of Medicine for being Black. Instead of giving up, he earned a master's in biochemistry at Howard, went on to graduate from Loyola University's medical school, became an OB-GYN, served in the Vietnam War, and built a successful practice in Atlanta.
More than 60 years later, in 2021, Emory publicly apologized and invited him to speak at a Juneteenth event, honoring his story and acknowledging the racism he overcame.
