Moment in Black History
Alexa Canady (1950- )
 In 1976, Canady became the first black female neurosurgeon in the U.S. She was 26-years-old
and a resident at the University of Minnesota at that time. In 1886, she became chief
of the neurosurgery department at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, and seven years
later, she received the American Women's Medical Association President's Award. Canady
was also responsible for the invention of a programmable antisiphon shunt, used to
treat excess fluid in the brain.
