Dr. May Chinn sees herself through the eyes of another as she
shares her story, with a patient of questionable repute. Born in
Great Barrington, Mass. in 1896, May Chinn was the first African-
American female intern at Harlem Hospital, and for many years the
only Black woman practicing medicine in Harlem. For a period, in the
1920’s May accompanied Paul Robeson on piano. A pioneer in early
cancer detection, she was invited to join the staff of the Strang Clinic,
in the early 40’s, where she remained for 30 years.
RACCA's Seaport Salon offers a delightful experience at the South
Street Seaport. Nothing beats gazing out at the Brooklyn Bridge,
over seafood, at a nearby café, before an evening of theater, in the
comfy, cozy Shooting Star Theater. Enjoy the best of NY talent, in
this warm, intimate setting. The Salon offers a unique, theatrical
adventure you don't want to miss! For info: 917 239-6690
