Dr. Samuel, Standard professor of Clinical surgery NY University & Bellevue Medical Center stated that Dr. Scott surgical technique was nearly flawless. The Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit forced the hospital to grant privileges to Dr. Cypress & Dr. Scott & ruled not only that all qualified physicians should be granted staff privileges, but all patients should be assigned a bed on the basis of their medical and surgical needs, not the color of their skin. Dr Charles Waldo Scott died in 1993, but his name is truly alive in the non profit C. Waldo Scott Center for H.O.P.E.

Hamlin Drug Store 126 E. Hargett St. Raleigh, NC 

est.1907 by Cpt James Hamlin, who served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. The store's original location is now occupied by the Mechanics & Farmers Bank. Then located on the first floor of the Lightner Arcade, the soda fountain was a gathering place for young people on Sundays. Hamlin's adopted son Val Cortez began three generations of pharmacists.

Hamlin Drug Company…the pharmacy is a fixture in downtown Raleigh and has been for 100 years. The oldest African-American owned pharmacy in North Carolina and one of a shrinking number of independent pharmacies in the United States, Hamlin Drug has survived and prospered despite segregation, desegregation, pressures from insurance companies and the proliferation of corporate pharmacy chains…Actor and author Hill Harper of "CSI: NY" fame spoke at the recent Hamlin Community Health Expo. He recalled memories of his grandfather's pharmacy, which had a soda fountain and diner. His grandfather's pharmacy is now closed, but Harper understood the Johnson sisters' motivation and goal to celebrate all that a community pharmacy represents
