She was the Doctor Who discovered a way to detect sickle cell anemia.

Angella D. Ferguson is an African-American doctor born in 1925. Her father was a teacher at an elementary school in Washington, DC. She was born with sickle cell anemia. She was inspired to become a doctor and studied the disease for over 20 years, discovering ways to prevent critical illness for those with sickle cell and other genetic defects. She retired after 42 years in medicine, more than half of that time in pediatrics.
