Autor

John McFall was born in 1878, 15 years after Emancipation. He was the first of eleven children born to a freed couple in Charleston, South Carolina. He entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy before completing high school. After obtaining a Doctor of Pharmacy (P.D.) with honors in 1899, he returned to Charleston and opened a drugstore. Dr. McFall had spent his boyhood in a Charleston that was racially tolerant. He now witnessed Charleston evolve into a city of Jim Crow -- African Americans no longer had rights of full citizenship and were expected to accept daily humiliations. For four decades, Dr. McFall pioneered activities to resist Jim Crow's encroachments on the education, medical care and the civic standing of the Black community.
