| Dr. Brogdon and Dr. Jones at the 60th reunion of the University of Arkansas School of Medicine class of 1952. |
Dr. Gil Brogdon, Distinguished Professor Emeritus and former chair of radiology at the University of South Alabama, recently attended the 60th reunion of his graduating class from the University of Arkansas School of Medicine.
Thirteen of the 15 survivors of the Class of 1952 were able to attend. Only three of them still practice their profession, including Dr. Brogdon and Dr. Edith Mae Irby Jones. Dr. Jones broke both color and gender barriers when in 1948 she became the first African American student to be admitted to a Southern state's medical school.
