Description: Dr. John A. Kenney Jr., a leading specialist in dermatological conditions afflicting African-Americans, died on Nov. 29 at his home in Washington. He was 89.The cause of death was heart failure, said his daughter Anne Kenney of Brooklyn.Dr. Kenney was one of the first black doctors to be formally trained in dermatology and developed the dermatology department of Howard University's College of Medicine into a major research center, said Dr. William E. Matory, a surgeon and the director of continuing medical education at the National Medical Association, an organization of black physicians.When Dr. Kenney began his medical career, many white doctors refused to see black patients. Even those who did were not necessarily experienced in treating skin conditions common among blacks, like shaving-associated dermatitis and vitiligo, a disorder that causes white skin blotches.Because of Dr. Kenney's prominence in the field, many colleagues referred to him as the dean of black dermatologIn pursuing a medical career, Dr. Kenney, who was born in Tuskegee, Ala., was following in a family tradition. His father, Dr. John A. Kenney Sr., was a prominent early member of the National Medical Association as well as the medical director and chief surgeon at Tuskegee Institute's general hospital and the personal doctor of the institute's founder, Booker T. Washington.His mother, Frieda Armstrong Kenney, was one of the first black women to graduate from Boston University.Dr. Kenney always wanted to be a doctor, according to a profile in the alumni magazine of Bates College in Lewiston, Me. ''I heard that when I was 3 or 4 years old, I was found 'operating' on my grandmother's leg with a frying pan,'' Dr. Kenney was quoted as saying.After studying chemistry and biology at Bates, he received his medical degree in 1945 from Howard University. He later received training in dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan and joined the staff at University Hospital in Cleveland.In 1961, he joined the faculty in the dermatology division at Howard and taught there for almost four decades.this is just a small recap of the doctors work there is much more on how important this black doctor was to history This is a just serviced fine condition all original 1939 Hamilton Bowman made by Hamilton please take a look at the pictures and judge for yourself Dial –is silver with gold hands and 18 karat solid gold applied numbers the dial is sterling silver with full 60 second sunken sub dial at the six.
