AANS Celebrates a Black History Moment:
Betty Smith Williams

As a leader and trailblazer, Betty Smith Williams was the first African American to graduate from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland, Ohio, and to teach at a higher education institution in California. From there, she went on to start the National Black Nurses Association in 1971, which is still working to improve healthcare for African-Americans across the country.

AANS Celebrates a Black History Moment:
Mary Eliza Mahoney (1845-1926)

Mary Eliza Mahoney was the first Black registered nurse in the United States. In 1879, she graduated from a program in New England that required 16 hours of labor, seven days a week. The program started with 40 students, only 3 graduated - including Mahoney. She proved her mettle and went on to blaze trails for future nurses. In 1908, Mahoney helped to establish the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses. In recognition of her achievements, the American Nurses Association created the Mary Mahoney Award, which is still considered one of the highest honors a nurse can receive.
