Determined Doctor

The life of  Alexander Augusta is inspiring and valuable to remember.  He was an African American in the late 1800's.  Augusta was a doctor, teacher, leader and hero.  He was a Virginia native who served as a surgeon of the 7th U.S. Colored Regiment.  His pursuit of education and social justice was sparked by his own personal convictions.  His burial at in Arlington Cemetery is a testament to his courage and bravery.
