Scott was a Washington pediatrician who founded Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease and received international acclaim for researching the painful genetic blood disorder that predominantly affects blacks. Dr. Scott was chairman of pediatrics at Howard from 1949 to 1973 and also had a private pediatric practice in the city. By the 1950s with a growing reputation for his sickle cell research he was among the first black doctors granted privileges at such facilities as Children's and Providence hospitals according to press reports at the time. The Washington Post noted then that several hospitals had an 'unwritten ban against Negro physicians.' Dr. Scott started the Center for Sickle Cell Disease in 1972 with a grant from the National Institutes of Health and remained director until his retirement in 1990." - Washington Post Obit.
