Matthew Walker, Sr.
Matthew Walker, Sr. (December 7, 1906 – July 15, 1978) was an African-American physician and surgeon. He was one of the first African Americans to become a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He was one of the most prominent Black doctors in the 20th century in the United States.〔
==Early life==
Matthew Walker's parents were Phillip Walker and Rosa Ware Walker. His grandfather's name was also Matthew Walker, but the elder’s name was never included by the Walker family in the counting. The older Matthew had been an industrious man and well respected gentleman.
One town in Louisiana had the name Waterproof. The town had been named Waterproof since it was on higher ground than its surroundings. Phillip and Rosa Walker began their married life in Waterproof, Louisiana. The new family thought it had picked a spot safe from the floods which sometimes plagued Louisiana. However, in his early years, the child, Matthew, was to have a particularly harrowing experience related to water. Once, when a torrential rain came pouring down, the young Walker, who was standing on the rail-less porch of the family home, fell and was swept into a rush of water flowing below the porch. One of his aunts, Mattie Walker, having noted what happened, rushed to the other side of the porch, reached down, and grabbed the young child before he could be swept away in the deluge.〔Walker Family Web Page. http://www.matthewwalkersrmdfamily.com/index.html〕
