John Stewart Rock was an
American teacher, doctor, dentist, lawyer and abolitionist, historically
associated with the coining of the term "black is beautiful"
(thought to have originated from a speech he made in 1858, however
historical records now indicate he never actually used the specific
phrase on that day).
Rock was one of the first African-American men to earn a medical degree. In addition, he was the first Black person to be admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States.
