À propos de cet audio

In this week's episode, Cara is joined by Maria Smilios, Author of the The Black Angels to uncover the untold story of the Black nurses at Seaview Hospital and their courageous fight against tuberculosis in the 1920s and 1930s. Together, they explore how these nurses stepped into dangerous roles abandoned by others, seizing rare professional opportunities despite facing broken promises and lower pay. The conversation dives into the erasure of their contributions from public memory, revealing how media coverage focused on doctors while the nurses’ vital work went largely unrecognized. Drawing powerful parallels to the COVID-19 pandemic, the episode highlights persistent disparities in healthcare and the ongoing impact of racial bias.
