Dr. Louis T. Wright (1891-1952), a Harvard Medical School graduate in 1915 and a leading 20th century Black physician, pioneered in the struggle of adequate health care and medical facilities until his death in 1952. His first struggle was in Boston when he was denied the opportunity to attend pregnant women and deliver infants with his Harvard classmates at Boston-Lying -In Hospital. 'I paid my tuition,' said Wright in his petition, 'and I want what the catalogue calls for, namely [a position in] obstetrics at Boston-Lying-In.' Dr. Wright won his case.
