Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African American woman who became a doctor in 1864. She is known to be a diligent and persistent woman.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler was born in Delaware, USA
They were married in St. John, New Brunswick on 24 May 1865. Rebecca's husband, Arthur, was NOT a physician. See: Find A Grave Memorial# 158462958. The photo above is not Arthur Crumpler.
There have been doctors from all peoples in the world for as long as we know, so it would be impossible to say who was the first of any individual grouping.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first woman of color to graduate from a medical school-- she graduated the New England Female Medical College in 1864. Then, in 1867, Rebecca J. Cole became the second black female doctor, when she graduated from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania. She then went to work for Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.
Well some believe she was born in 1831, Delaware, US and some believe she was born in 1833 Richmond, Virginia.
