On this edition of In Black America, producer/host John L. Hanson Jr. presents part one of a two-part discussion with Nicole Carr, four-time Emmy Award–winning investigative journalist, Visiting Assistant Professor at Morehouse College, and author of ‘The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in a Segregated Nation.’
Fourteen percent of the U.S. population is African American, yet the number of African American doctors is only 5% of all practicing physicians. In her debut book, Carr explores the underexamined history of discrimination against America’s African American medical students and doctors.
