As vice president of the Confederate States of America, Stephens gave his famous “Cornerstone Speech” when referring to the equality of races.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Family medicine physicians carry one of the broadest clinical mandates in all of medicine. From pediatric care to geriatrics, dermatology to behavioral health, the scope is demanding, and the stakes are high.
