Our October, 2021 meeting of LMCC took place on Wed. Oct. 27 at 5:30pm est via Zoom. We focused on Harriet A. 
Washington’s 2006 monograph Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, especially the following selections:
- The Introduction: “The American Janus of Medicine and Race”
- Chapter 4: “The Surgical Theater: Black Bodies in the Antebellum Clinic”
- Chapter 5: “The Restless Dead: Anatomical Dissection and Display”
If you missed the meeting, you can still access the text on the Readings page of this site!
