Henry Moss (c. 1754 – after 1796) was a man of African descent from Virginia whose progressive depigmentation (a condition now identified as vitiligo) attracted widespread public and scientific interest in the United States during the 1790s. In 1796 he began exhibiting his dramatically changing complexion for a fee in Philadelphia, both in taverns and before members of the American Philosophical Society, and quickly became a widely discussed public curiosity. His case drew commentary from prominent figures such as Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Smith Barton, Samuel Stanhope Smith, and Charles Caldwell, who used it in debates about race, disease, environment, and national identity.
