I know there's a lot of Ronda hate but she's never really did that "I'm black" angle. It's just something interesting about her ancestry.

Plus this was a bit known that she had non-Euro in her. There's other reasons to dislike her but fukk the race angle shyt. Coli militants fishing. :comeon:

AnnMaria, whose father was Joseph Arthur Waddell, chimed in when Rousey declined to answer.

'"Before His Time". It's about my grandfather, Ronda's great grandfather.

'They show it during Black History Month every year in Canada because he was one of the first black physicians in North America,' AnnMaria said.

The physician she's talking about is Dr Alfred E. Waddell, who immigrated from Trinidad to Halifax, Canada.

Pre-1865:
Medical schools were closed to Negroes in the south and to a lesser degree in the north. Because of the color line in medicine, the first few Negro physicians received their medical degrees abroad. A few older medical schools in the east admitted some Negroes; namely, Harvard, Yale, and Pennsylvania. In the Midwest, Indiana, Northwestern, and Michigan accepted some Negro medical students.

  • 1847: First Negro medical student graduated from a northern medical school -- David J. Peck (Rush Medical School, Chicago).

  • 1849: Bowdoin Medical School in Maine awarded medical degrees to John V. De Grasse and Thomas J. White.

  • 1858: Berkshire Medical School in Massachusetts awarded two medical degrees to Negroes.

  • 1860: By 1860, at least nine northern medical schools admitted Negroes: Bowdoin in Maine, the Medical School of the University of New York, Caselton Medical School in Vermont, Berkshire Medical School in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Rush Medical School in Chicago, the Eclectic Medical School of Philadelphia, the Homeopathic College of Cleveland, the American Medical College, and the Medical School of Harvard University.


Post -1865: Seven medical schools for blacks were established between 1868 and 1904.

  • In 1895, there were 385 Negro doctors, only 7% from white medical schools.

  • In 1905, there were 1,465 Negro doctors, only 14.5% from white medical schools.

  • Almost 2,400 physicians were graduated from Howard and Meharry medical schools from 1890 to the end of WWI.

Anderson Ruffin Abbott, MD - first Canadian-born black doctor. Received his license in 1861.
Studied under Dr Alexander Thomas Augusta, an African American surgeon practicing in Toronto. (There were at least four other black American doctors practicing in Canada at that time.)

Let random white people inform you on black history.
