Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present by Harriet A. Washington
informative
slow-paced
5.0
I’m not sure I have ever rated a book that took me so long to get through with 5 stars, but this one deserves it! Genuinely eye opening. Like I knew the medical system had a lot of problems with racial bias, but to have so many concrete examples told to me was simply mind blowing. I truly think every person should read this book.
