HMS alumna Shirley Marks to give Howard, Dorsey, Still Lecture
When Shirley Marks entered Harvard Medical School as a student in 1969, she was not only the first Black woman to be accepted to the School in decades — and only the second Black woman ever accepted — she was part of a broader, diverse cohort of students entering that year who changed the face of medicine.
