Philadelphia physician treats a lot of children with asthma in her medical offices in 5801 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia. She bought the building, opened her medical offices, and a few months later learned that the top floor, which was walled off and inaccessible, had been a ballroom for the USO for black military. She learned this from the passenger next to her on a airplane from California.

So she opened a black veterans museum on the top floors and additionally trained as a science teacher so she could bring kids in and teach them.
