Except for nurses' aides, orderlies, attendants and laborers, hospital personnel would be white. Recruiting and training black medical professionals was difficult given the obstacles facing blacks in obtaining education in medicine and gaining acceptance in the field. The history of the hospital reflects the struggle for racial equality in the United States. This book describes the effort to integrate the Tuskegee Veteran's Hospital and follows the careers of the small group of well-trained, dedicated black physicians who played significant roles in its development as a treatment center for black veterans. The hospital's contributions to research and medicine are documented, along with its involvement in one of the biggest scandals in medical research--the Tuskegee syphilis study. 610 20 $a Tuskegee Veterans Hospital. 610 22 $a Tuskegee Veterans Hospital. 650 0 $a African American veterans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American physicians $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Military hospitals $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 12 $a Hospitals, Veterans $x history. 650 12 $a African Americans $x History. 650 22 $a Physicians $x history. 650 22 $a Veterans $x history. 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. 651 2 $a United States 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20180925010358.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66E789987E8611E8BC70ED0E97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
