- In recognition of Black History Month, we are highlighting “The Health Status of the Negro Today and in the Future,” written by Dr. Paul B. Cornely, and published in the American Journal of Public Health in April 1968. Cornely, Professor and Head of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at Howard University College of Medicine, presented the paper at the American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting in 1967. He discussed many of the common issues impacting the health of African Americans at that time, focusing on the mortality gap between white and black people, educational levels, and overall health of low-skilled workers. Cornely broke barriers in the association by becoming the first African American president of the APHA.
