Across the country, one thing is clear: when Black communities organize, we win. As a nonpartisan organization, the NAACP supports policies, not politicians, and is committed to holding all elected officials accountable regardless of party affiliation.

PATRICIA BATH
Patricia Era Bath (November 4, 1942 – May 30, 2019) was an African American ophthalmologist and humanitarian, known for championing a community-focused approach to eye care and for innovations in cataract surgery. She became the first woman to lead a postgraduate training program in ophthalmology, and the first woman elected to the honorary staff of the UCLA Medical Center. Bath was the first African-American to serve as a resident in ophthalmology at New York University. She was also the first African-American woman to serve on staff as a surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center.
Born in New York City, Bath received a National Science Foundation scholarship as a high school student to study the metabolic behavior of cancer. She graduated from Hunter College in 1964 with a degree in chemistry, and enrolled in Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC.
She organized a contingent of students to provide services to the Poor People's Campaign in 1968. After graduation, she returned to New York to intern at Harlem Hospital Center, where she began research on eye diseases. She was an ophthalmology resident at New York University from 1970 to 1973, and then a fellow at Columbia University for one year. In 1974 she joined the faculty of the Jules Stein Eye Institute, making her the first female ophthalmology professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.[1]
Bath's research showed that blindness, especially caused by glaucoma, was more prevalent among Black Americans than the general population. In 1976, she co-founded the nonprofit American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness in Washington, D.C., to advance a program of "community ophthalmology" that would expand the availability of treatment for, education about, and prevention of eye diseases to medically underserved populations
