Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine
by Uché Blackstock
This book is necessary reading material for all Americans. Thank you Dr. Uché Blackstock for shedding light on something that has been happening for so long in this country. This book gave voice to why I still insist on seeing Black female physicians even though they are so difficult to find even in a city as diverse as Brooklyn. This book provided a concise map directly back to our Black ancestors who we have to thank for current advances in medicine ranging from vaccines to doulas who have a track record of keeping Black birthing people alive when our hospitals cannot. This book thoughtfully explains how racism prematurely ages Black people and the fight against it has been unfairly placed on the shoulders of the very people it sickens. I am in awe still of this book and its author and Dr. Uché’s mother — her legacy is all up in through this book ❤️
