PROVISIONAL evidence grade of this record
Solomon Carter Fuller (1872–1953) was among the first Black psychiatrists in the United States and a pioneer of Alzheimer's disease research: in 1904–05 he trained in Munich in Alois Alzheimer's own laboratory and published some of the earliest American work on the disease's pathology. Liberian-born and raised in Monrovia before emigrating for education, he spent his career at Westborough State Hospital and Boston University School of Medicine. Boston University's Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center is named for him.
