Segregation in housing and education has had reverberations on health care and health outcomes for African Americans. In this episode, we explore the legacy of that separation. We meet some of the people who helped integrate hospitals as the Civil Rights fight was heating up, and hear from a millennial mom, who says yes, even in 2018, looking for a black doctor to care for her black little girls is “a thing.” Throughout the episode, we also visit separate, largely black spaces that nourish African American health and well-being.
