Synopsis "Under the Radar: The Little Known Story of Dr. Henry Watson Furniss: an African-American Pioneer (in English)"
Dr. Henry Watson Furniss was an African-American physician, diplomat and scholar who lived in the last half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. He was born at the end of the Civil War, earned MD and PhD degrees and served fourteen years as one of the few African-Americans in the diplomatic corps at the time. His career was unique; he was the first African American to receive a master's degree from Harvard Medical School and was reportedly the first African American to receive both a MD and PhD. He was a successful diplomat, writer and scientist. Dr. Furniss was married to a white German woman and practiced the last forty years of his life as a urologist in Hartford, Connecticut, possibly passing as white during that time. His brother, Dr. Sumner A. Furniss was a prominent African American physician in Indianapolis. This biography attempts to chronicle his life and career as it played out against the racial history of America from Reconstruction to the mid 1950s.
