SUMMARY:November Book Club - Friday: Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our November book club meeting on Friday 21st\, at 12:30pm. \nAuthor: Uché Blackstock \nFrom GoodReads: \nGrowing up in Brooklyn\, New York\, it never occurred to Uché Blackstock and her twin sister\, Oni\, that they would be anything but physicians. In the 1980s\, their mother headed an organization of Black women physicians\, and for years the girls watched these fiercely intelligent women in white coats tend to their patients and neighbors\, host community health fairs\, cure ills\, and save lives. As an ER physician\, and later as a professor in academic medicine\, Dr. Blackstock became profoundly aware of the systemic barriers that Black patients and physicians continue to face. Legacy is a journey through the critical intersection of racism and healthcare. At once a searing indictment of our healthcare system\, a generational family memoir\, and a call to action\, Legacy is Dr. Blackstock’s odyssey from child to medical student to practicing physician—to finally seizing her own power as a health equity advocate against the backdrop of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.
