Halle Tanner Dillon Johnson was a 24 year old widow raising a daughter when she decided to attend the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. She graduated with honors in 1891 and accepted a position as the resident physician at the Tuskegee Institute.
Before she began her job, Halle needed to pass the Alabama Medical Board exam, an unusually difficult multi-day test.
When she passed the exam, Halle became the first female physician of any race licensed by the state of Alabama.
