Video Explains Slavery's Impact on Medicine for Minorities
If you read The New York Times Magazine's issue "1619 Project", which we posted about earlier this month, you read how experimentation on slaves, the desire to breed new slaves after importing slaves was outlawed, and the desire to justify oppression through science all impacted today's medical care for African Americans.
If you haven't had time to read through the issue, you can learn more by viewing this 8-minute video on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfYRzxeMdGs&feature=youtu.be
