Walker, John H.

Abstract:

The new book, "Dr. Milton D. Quigless, Sr. Story: A Memoir of Race, Medicine, and Purpose in the Segregated South" is essentially the same as an earlier edition published in 2009 and titled "Looking Back - The Way Things Were, The Autobiography of Dr, Milton D. Quigless". Quigless originally came to Rocky Mount to practice but was referred by Dr. Avon there to a post in Tarboro. his Story is interesting as fifth grade dropout, entertainer, Pullman porter and finally medical student and practicing African American physician during the Great Depression.
