    As a part of Black History Month, we will be sharing biographies of people who have made an impact in our history: Daniel Hale Williams: An African-American general surgeon, in 1893, Williams became a pioneer in open-heart surgery. Hospitals were rarely integrated, yet because of his talent he became chief of surgery when he performed one of the first successful pericardium surgeries. Later in life, he became an advocate for African-American presence in Medicine.
