Dr. Cobb, an accomplished physician and physical anthropologist, holds a significant place in history as the first African-American to earn a Ph. D in anthropology. Beyond his academic achievements, he was deeply involved in civil rights activism. The metal caliper featured in this image is a remarkable instrument with a sliding scale for precise measurements. Its pointed edges on the head indicate its purpose of accurate assessment and examination. The top section remains fixed while the lower section smoothly moves up and down along the ruler, allowing for meticulous calculations. A small screw positioned at the side of the lower section adds further versatility to this exceptional tool. This photograph not only captures an important artifact but also symbolizes Dr. Cobb's groundbreaking contributions to both science and society. Displayed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this object represents cultural heritage that resonates far beyond its material form.
