African American Doctor, Daniel Hale Williams, is credited with having performed the first open heart surgery on July 9, 1893 before such surgeries were established. While he is known as the first person to perform an open heart surgery, it is actually more noteworthy that he was the first surgeon to open the chest cavity successfully without the patient dying of infection. His procedures would therefore be used as standards for future internal surgeries.

The sad part is, I don’t think most of my peers would know this if they hadn’t went to the school named after him.
