James McCune Smith, an emancipated slave, graduated in medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1837, and, in so doing, became the first African-American in the world to graduate in medicine.
Smith came to study at the University of Glasgow for this degree as he was barred from doing so in the United States because of his colour.
