According to the APA's webpage "Timeline of Challenge and Progress: The Inclusion of People of Color in Psychology in the United States" (http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/visions/time1.html), "J. Henry Alston is first African American to publish a research article (titled "Psychophysics of the spatial condition of the fusion of warmth and cold in heat") in an exclusively psychological journal, The American Journal of Psychology (T. C. Cadwallader as cited by Benimoff, 1995)."
