Douglas Posey, M.D.
Douglas Posey is Managing Co-Director of an international consulting firm that provides expert witness testimony in the forensic sciences including the evaluation of scientific data related to criminal and civil cases. A veteran of the United States Navy, he is a graduate of both Alcorn State University and Wayne State University Medical School. Dr. Posey is board-certified in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, transfusion medicine and forensic pathology.
In his acclaimed autobiography, From Mississippi to the Morgue, Dr. Posey chronicled his personal journey as he fights to overcome the Jim Crow racism of Southern Mississippi to become one of the few black men in America to attain board-certification in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, transfusion medicine and forensic pathology. With intellect and insight, Dr. Posey takes us deep inside the African American experience. He describes with great eloquence not only his early life in rural Mississippi and New Orleans but also a wide range of salient topics including the black roots of Jazz, the economics of slavery, the race riots in New York City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, blacks in the military, and the birth of the Civil Rights Movement.
The book was met with great fanfare and widely distributed to Black colleges and universities.
