Solomon Carter Fuller (1872-1953), US psychiatrist. Fuller, who was born in Liberia, but studied and worked in the USA, was the first African-American psychiatrist. He studied at Boston University School of Medicine, later working at Westborough State Mental Hospital, Massachusetts, USA. In around 1904, Fuller went to Europe and studied at the University of Munich, working with the German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915). This was during the period that Alzheimer was identifying the disease that now bears his name, and Fuller continued work in this area after his return to the USA.
