- Neurosurgeon Dr. Keith L. Black was born on September 13, 1957 in Tuskegee, Alabama. By the time he was in the tenth grade, he had performed his first organ transplant on a dog. After enrolling in the University of Michigan, Black was accepted to medical school after two years of undergraduate work. By 1987, he was the head of the Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program at the UCLA Medical Center, where he remained for the next ten years.
