Does anyone know of any pioneer minority physicians?

Who have trained and practiced in America? I'm presenting this topic but I am afraid my scope is limitied to one or two minority groups. Thanks!

Incorrect.. I did undergrad at B.U. King recieved Doctorate in theology at Boston U./// Plus the world would have known this front page info if he was a physician.. But he did get Nobel Peace Prize.....
