Biography


Unthank was born in 1899 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He had seven siblings, and his mother died when he was nine.[1] Unable to support him, his father sent him to live with his aunt and uncle in Kansas City.[2] Unthank attended the University of Michigan, and later transferred to the University of Kansas where he graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts degree. He later received his medical degree from Howard University in 1926.[2][3] Unthank moved to Portland in 1929, into the all-white neighborhood of Westmoreland. His family was later forced to leave Westmoreland by the residents of the area, and moved four times before they were able to settle.[3][4] Unthank was the only black physician operating in Portland during the 1930s. He became the first black member of the City Club of Portland in 1943. Unthank co-founded the Portland chapter of the National Urban League in 1945, and served as president of the Portland NAACP chapter.[4] Unthank moved with his family to the Irvington neighborhood in 1952.[3] He was named Oregon Doctor of the Year in 1958.[5]


Unthank retired from medical practice in 1970, and served as a medical consultant for the Oregon Workmen's Compensation Board from 1970 until 1976.[3] He died on September 20, 1977.



Personal life


Unthank and his wife, Thelma Shipman, had five children: DeNorval Jr. (1929–2000), James, Lesley, Thelma (1940–2009), and Thomas.[6][7]



Legacy


DeNorval Unthank Park, in the neighborhood of Boise, was dedicated to him in 1969.[2] A rededication ceremony was held in 2011.[8][9] Other namesakes include Unthank Plaza, a senior living facility in the Boise neighborhood, and the DeNorval Unthank Health Clinic, also in the Boise neighborhood.
