"This book documents the struggle for equity in health and health care by African
American citizens and physicians in Mississippi and the United States. Dr. Richard
D. deShazo and the contributors to the volume trace the dark journey from a system
of slave hospitals in the state, through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the civil rights
era, to the present day. They substantiate that current health disparities in the
state are directly linked to America's history of separation, neglect, struggle, and
disparities. Contributors reveal details of individual physicians' journeys for recognition
both as African Americans and as professionals in Mississippi. Despite discrimination
by their white colleagues and threats of violence, a small but fearless group of African
American physicians fought for desegregation of American medicine and society. For
example, T.R.M. Howard, MD, in the all-black city of Mound Bayou led a private investigation
of the Emmett Till murder that helped trigger the civil rights movement. Later, other
black physicians risked their lives and practices to furnish care for white civil
rights workers during the civil rights movement. Richard deShazo has assembled an
accurate account of the lives and experiences of black physicians in Mississippi,
one that gives full credit to the actions of these pioneers. The introduction and
essays address ongoing isolation and distrust among black and white colleagues in
Mississippi. This book will stimulate dialogue, apology, and reconciliation, with
the ultimate goal of improving disparities in health and health care and addressing
long-standing injustices in our country."--Provided by publisher
