It's Black History Month and we will be highlighting several influential African Americans throughout the entire month. Check out today's spotlight of the week, Robert Tanner Freeman!
"Robert Tanner Freeman is the first professionally trained black dentist in the United States. After being rejected from two dental schools because of the color of his skin, Dr. Freeman went on to enroll at Harvard University's School of Dentistry as a part of their inaugural class. He graduated in 1869, becoming the nation's first African American dentist."
