AOA Past President William G. Anderson, DO, spent 2/24/12 on the campus of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) in Lewisburg to celebrate February’s designation as Black History Month as well as the “Mountain State’s” National Osteopathic Week with osteopathic medical students at the school.  Dr. Anderson, an AOA Great Pioneer, is best known outside of the profession for his role as the leader of the “Albany Movement,” a civil rights movement that was formed by local activists in Albany, Georgia, in 1961.  Dr. Anderson, who worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr., spent Friday with students, administration and faculty of WVSOM to celebrate these events and our growth, as a country and a profession, during his lifetime.  See today’s “Fact” for more information. ​
