Outstanding Black Contributor To The Medical World: Hazel Johnson-Brown had known since childhood that she wanted to be a nurse. She applied to her hometown college- the West Chester School of Nursing in Pennsylvania, but was rejected because of her race. Therefore, she went to New York City in 1947 and enrolled in the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing. In 1973, the Army selected her to obtain a Ph.D. in education administration at the Catholic University of America. This led Hazel to become the director and assistant dean of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Nursing in 1976. Three years later, the Army nominated Johnson to become the 16th chief of the Army Nurse Corps, along with a promotion to Brigadier General– she was the first-ever African–American woman to achieve this rank. Some of Brig. Gen Johnson's achievements before retiring in 1983 included making policies for academic scholarships for ROTC nursing students, creating standards of practice for the Army Nurse Corps, and implementing quality assurance measures.

Outstanding Black Contributor To The Medical World Mabel Keaton Staupers, 1951 Spingarn Medal winner from the NAACP, fought publicly for the inclusion and integration of black nurses into the United States Army and Navy during WWII. After immigrating to the United States from Barbados when she was 13 years old, Mabel earned her nursing degree, with honors, at the Howard University College of Nursing in Washington, D.C. Upon graduation, she worked as a private-duty nurse in 1920, also joining the Booker T. Washington Sanitarium, as the Director of Nursing, which is among the first hospitals to treat tuberculosis in African Americans. Through her research and nursing work on tuberculosis, she founded the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association.
