Smith also sheds new light on the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment by situating it within the context of black public health activity, reminding us that public health work had oppressive as well as progressive consequences.Studies in health, illness, and caregiving.African American women health reformersSouthern StatesHistoryAfrican AmericansMedical careSouthern StatesHistoryHealth care reformSouthern StatesHistoryPublic healthSouthern StatesHistoryAfrican American women health reformersHistory.African AmericansMedical careHistory.Health care reformHistory.Public healthHistory.362.1/089/96073Smith Susan Lynn1960-1191672DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910827060503321Sick and tired of being sick and tired4022854UNINA
