The three most known events in African American medical history are the United States Public Health Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, the experimental gynecological surgeries of Dr. J. Marion Sims on enslaved women, and the use of Henrietta Lacks’ “immortal” cells without her consent or knowledge. Dr. Gamble and Dr. Stephen Kenny (University of Liverpool) will lead an interactive graduate seminar that will analyze what the field needs to do to go develop a more complex and comprehensive history of African American medical history. Refreshments provided.
