The exhibit chronicles early black pioneer physicians and contemporary academic surgeons who exemplify excellence in the health fields.

"We hope students of color and others recognize the importance of pioneers in the black community as well as the need for new students to enter these growth professions," said Dr. Rick Schulze, professor, Department of Health and Exercise Science.
