To the best of my ability to research, "Burrin Turnbulle" is a fictitious name that was plastered across the Answers website as being the first female black veterinarian in the United States. However, this is incorrect information - the first African-American female veterinarian was Dr. Alfreda J Webb, a graduate of Tuskegee University in 1949. I have not been able to figure out who "Burrin Turnbulle" was, or if this person even existed.
To answer the question posted, "Burrin Turnbulle" did nothing to become the very first African American veterinarian because he (or she) was not a veterinarian and may not actually have existed.
To the best of my ability to research this, "Burrin Turnbulle" didn't become a veterinarian, or at least was not a famous veterinarian. Therefore, it is almost impossible to figure out what would have motivated this person (if this person existed - I also can't find any mention of this individual) to become a veterinarian.
No, the first African-American female veterinarian in the United States was Dr. Alfreda J Webb. She graduated from Tuskegee University in the class of 1945. The only citation I can find on the internet for "Burrin Turnbulle", "Burrin Tunbulle" and "Burrin Turnbelle" is on the Answers website, so I suspect this name is misinformation that was propagated across the website but is not true. Dr. Webb's biography and information can be correlated on other websites, including the American Veterinary Medical Association's and Tuskegee University's.
