The American Academy of Physical Therapy (AAPT) was formally established in 1989, on September 16, in Chicago, Illinois. On that day, 63 strong and determined African-American Physical Therapists assembled and were supported by 21 who could not attend, for the purpose of addressing the many unmet professional concerns of the African-American Physical Therapy Community.
