Emerson Emory
Emerson Emory (January 29, 1925 – January 28, 2003) was an American internist and psychiatrist from Dallas, Texas. Aspiring to be a doctor from an early age, he attended Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College before serving in the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army during World War II. After studying at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, Emory conducted his residency at St. Paul's Hospital, which was the first major hospital in Dallas to grant staff privileges to African American doctors.

Emory was a staff physician at United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers in Dallas and McKinney, Texas, before beginning a private practice specializing in internal medicine in South Dallas in 1960. Starting in 1966, he specialized in psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, the Terrell State Hospital, and the Federal Correctional Institution in Seagoville, Texas, before ultimately resuming private practice as a specialist in both internal medicine and psychiatry.

Emory was also active in politics and the community. Although he was never elected, he ran for office several times, including twice for Mayor of Dallas, once for the Dallas City Council, and once for the Texas Legislature. He was a member of the Texas State Convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)'s Dallas branch, and the United Service Organizations (USO)'s Dallas Council. He was also a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
