Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present by Harriet A. Washington

challenging informative slow-paced

3.0

Useful information that covered a wide timeline. A bit repetitive and hard to follow at times. I think this was a bit too academic for me, a lot of it went over my head, and I'd like to revisit it sometime in the future to really study it.
