"Inglewood is home to one of the most renowned ophthalmologists and Black historians. Until now, many people may not have been aware of his presence. Dr. Leroy William Vaughn practices eye care at 323 North Prairie Ave, Suite 217 in Inglewood 90301. He is a diabetic eye specialist and well known for his work regarding glaucoma too. He has received many awards over the years, one of which was from former President Bill Clinton thanking him for his service to patients.
Dr. Vaughn has acquired many titles over the years: doctor, historian and African Chief. He received a Bachelors of Science degree at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, before going on to acquire a medical degree at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. He interned at North Carolina Memorial Hospital and never ceased to slow in his practices once he started. So how did Dr. Vaughn become such a dynamic person?
A part of this story started in the 1990s. He was recognized in the field of history for his 2002 book, Black People And Their Place In World History. He has been studying black history since the 1960s and is very knowledgeable in black people’s true place in history."
