Born in 1888 to a poor immigrant family in Chicago, Jacob Bolotin fought prejudice and misconceptions about the capabilities of blind people in order to win acceptance to medical school and then into the medical profession. He fought his way into and through the Chicago College of Medicine, graduated with honors at twenty-four, and became the world's first totally blind physician fully licensed to practice medicine. He was particularly recognized for his expertise on diseases of the heart and lungs. Bolotin used his many public speaking engagements to advocate for the employment of the blind and their full integration into society. When Jacob Bolotin died at the young age of thirty-six, five thousand people attended his funeral.[1][2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://nfb.org/history-bolotin|title=History Bolotin - National Federation of the Blind|work=National Federation of the Blind|accessdate=15 July 2015}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bolotin, Jacob}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm08/bm0801/bm080105.htm|title=The Blind Doctor: The Jacob Bolotin Story|work=National Federation of the Blind|accessdate=15 July 2015}} 5 : 1888 births|1924 deaths|Blind people from the United States|Physicians from Illinois|People from Chicago |
