| Abstract | Psychiatrist and civic leader Dr. Alvin Poussaint was born in East Harlem, New York, on May 15, 1934. He received his M.D. from Cornell University, completing his residency in psychiatry at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and receiving his M.S. degree in 1964. Believing that racism was the core mental health problem for the African American community, Poussaint joined the civil rights movement in the South. He joined a team of healthcare professionals as the southern field director of the Medical Committee for Human Rights in Mississippi, helping desegregate healthcare facilities throughout the South. Later, he joined the staff of Tufts Medical School, where he served as director of the psychiatry program in a low-income housing project. In 1969, he joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School. He has served as media consultant for The Cosby Show and A Different World. Active with many organizations, Poussaint has written numerous articles and books. |
