City of Milwaukee joins local health plans in hosting 'Faith Leaders’ Forum on Health'

Mayor Barrett and Commissioner of Health welcome faith leaders for day of listening and collaborative discussion On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014, Mayor Tom Barrett and Commissioner of Health Bevan K. Baker greeted more than 70 area faith leaders for the Faith Leaders’ Forum on Health. Hosted by Community Connect Health Plan and Children’s Community Health Plan with support from the City of Milwaukee Health Department, the day’s agenda was centered on hearing from local faith leaders about the greatest health needs in the neighborhoods they serve. “Faith leaders in Milwaukee are the trusted drivers of change in their neighborhoods,” said Mayor Tom Barrett, who works with faith leaders year round on efforts such as violence prevention, neighborhood improvement, and infant mortality. “This day is designed by area health plans in order to hear from our faith leaders and continue to build collaborative efforts to address our community’s most pressing health needs.” The event was held at the Italian Conference Center located at 631 E. Chicago St. The keynote speaker was Steve Ohly, RN, NP of Community Clinics for Aurora UW Medical Group. Steve has worked more than 30 years in direct patient care in health care settings, primarily with economically poor and uninsured citizens.

The announcement was made Tuesday at a Baltimore elementary school where the School Commissioners were joined by Thornton and Baltimore MPS Photo mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake. Thornton’s current Dr. Gregory Thornton contract with MPS was extended last August by the MPS board to 2016. The superintendent’s position in Baltimore pays $290.000, which is higher than what he is paid here.

Community Brainstorming Conference emphasis on youth and preventing crime Juvenile crime in Milwaukee has reached a crisis state. Hardly a day goes past when there is not media coverage on youth as young as 10 or 11 committing delinquent acts and or criminal acts. Recent media coverage included youth engaging in activities from robbery to murder. The February 18, 2014 Journal Sentinel reported that the Milwaukee Public Schools still only has a 60.8 percent graduation rate in 2012. There are numerous theories on why youth engage in such behaviors ranging from “rational choice” to “social structural” explanations. All of these explanations have merit. One of the most commonly heard rationales is that there is nothing for youth to do. Whatever the reasons, juvenile crime and lack of suf-

Editorials

By Mary Burke

What does the future hold for Milwaukee's workers?

Milwaukee has always been a city defined by its work ethic. It is a city full of hardworking men and women who are willing to roll up their sleeves, put in an honest day’s work, and are proud to support their families. I still hold fond memories of the small business my father ran on Virginia Street, and I have countless childhood memories of all that Milwaukee has to offer. I know that Milwaukee still holds an enormous amount of value to the rest of the state. And the success or failure of our largest city will play a central role in determining how we move forward as a state. Top-notch universities are located here, and the city has great potential to be a hub for cutting edge industry. Unfortunately, Governor Walker has ignored Milwaukee’s potential. Instead of valuing the potential that Milwaukee has to drive our state’s economy, the Governor has undermined the city at virtually every turn. Governor Walker has failed to create the 250,000 jobs he promised – right now

we rank 37th in job creation, 45th in job prospects, and 48th in new business starts. In his first budget, Walker cut $800 million from education. He’s turned away an opportunity to bring our own tax dollars back to the state to expand Badgercare, which resulted in 72,000 people losing their health care. He raided millions that should have gone to addressing the housing foreclosure crisis to patch a budget hole. And he remains committed to passing a restrictive voter ID law that makes it harder to vote. The result is hard to miss: Blighted neighborhoods ravaged by the foreclosure crisis. Thousands of people willing to work but unable to find jobs or the transportation to get to them. Failing schools that aren’t doing enough to prepare kids for a job or college. And too much senseless violence threatening our neighborhoods. Addressing these challenges won’t be easy, but that doesn’t make them any less important. My pledge to you is to make Milwaukee a real priority, roll up my sleeves, and get to work alongside you to move the city – and our state – forward.

Gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke We do our best work when we work together. Throughout my career I’ve taken that approach: when opening up new markets for Trek Bicyle to sell great Wisconsin products around the world; as Commerce Secretary charged with helping new businesses start up and existing businesses grow; and in working to close the achievement gap in Madison and give more kids the chance to go to college. At Trek, my approach helped grow our European sales from $3 million to over $50 million annually, creating good jobs right here in Wis-

consin. While I was Commerce Secretary, Wisconsin had 84,000 more jobs than we had based on the latest data and our unemployment rate was just 4.8 percent. And I’m proud to say that the program I founded in Madison to give more young people the opportunity to continue their education after high school is succeeding – over 90 percent of the students in our first graduating class have gone on to college or tech school – many of them the first in their family to do so. Each of those endeavors succeeded because we worked together. It wasn’t about who got the credit; it was about bringing more voices into the conversation. Wisconsin needs a governor who will bring that approach back to how we do business in this state. We need a governor who understands that this state’s diversity is what makes us great and propels us into a future of opportunity and progress. Throughout this campaign, and during my term as Governor, I’ll remain focused on Milwaukee and work with community leaders to realize the vision of a thriving

Milwaukee that benefits everyone. But there are a few common sense places we can start. First, we need to make job creation our top priority by investing in our strengths and helping more new businesses – which create the majority of new jobs – get their start. We also need to improve our public schools and make sure students are graduating jobor college-ready. It’s long past time we invested in 21st century transit that connects workers with jobs. And we need to make better choices as a state when it comes to health care – ensuring access to quality, affordable care is more than a moral right, it’s an economic imperative. We also need to raise the minimum wage to $10.10. I’m running for Governor to do just that. And to succeed where Scott Walker has failed our communities. To bring people together to address the issues that matter most to the people of Wisconsin. That can’t happen unless we value every community, in every corner of the state. And it’s the only way we’ll realize a future of greater opportunity for all.

Who's afraid of Black History?

By Joe Brewster Co-Producer and Co-Director, American Promise Recently, the Dalton School found itself in a jam when a teacher aired "C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America," a satirical "mockumentary" that explores slavery through the lens of a speculative history where the South won the Civil War and slavery endures today. The effort backfired: according to a newspaper article, some students "felt the film was insensitive to the struggle of blacks and made light of slavery." Dalton head Ellen C. Stein met with upset parents to express both her contrition and lack of advance knowledge that the class would view the film. On the other hand, the filmmaker, Kevin Willmott, a Black man and professor of film at the University of Kansas, defended the movie and lamented the lost opportunity to provoke a conversation about this difficult subject. "This, in essence, is the American problem in race," he said. "The minute that things become real, the minute that you get close to

the edge, everything shuts down." Slavery is a notoriously fraught subject for Americans to navigate, but for Black students -- particularly those in predominately white school settings -all of American history can feel riddled with landmines, even during Black History Month. Carter G. Woodson and others designed this celebration to prefigure a time when schools would teach African American history accurately and from a Black perspective; however, too many schools teach black history as several hundred years of Black submission and oppression, followed by decades more of struggle at the bottom of the American well. Within that narrative, Black people's active resistance to slavery often gets overlooked. So do the characteristics that it took to overcome it, including backbreaking work, bravery, perseverance, and an indescribable ability not merely to delay gratification but also to forego joy. The fact that many teachers present Black history as a disaster reel accompanied by a soundtrack of mournful spirituals makes Black students feel not like the descendants of arguably the greatest liberation struggle in human history -- emulated by freedom seekers the world over, from Tiananmen Square to South Africa to Tahrir Square -- but as his-

tory's biggest losers. And few educators would risk framing slavery as some might characterize it: as our nation's White forbears' mass psychosis. In their new book The Triple Package, Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld propose that Black Americans operate under the burden of both a negative history and a narrative of inferiority, which cripples them in the race for achievement, causing them to trail both White Americans and success-oriented immigrants. But in their Times editorial, Chua and Rubenfeld brushed past the pivotal role that government-backed programs have played in destroying Black families, or the role that white privilege plays in mediating access to opportunity in American society -- not to mention the media's centuries-long complicity in making horrifically

negative stereotypes of Black people normative. If there's a narrative of inferiority about black Americans, it's because that's the narrative we -- as a society -- have created, crafted, and chosen to tell. There is a better way, and it starts with all of us who are involved in raising black children today -- parents, teachers, and members of the extended "village" who interact with our young people. But crafting a new narrative isn't easy, as the Dalton experience shows -- ignoring our history is not an option, but finding the right way to talk about it can take a deft touch, even for black parents. While researching "Promises Kept: Raising Black Children to Succeed in School and in Life," the companion book to American Promise, our documentary about the coming-of-age tale of two African American boys, we discovered that many Black parents become tongue-tied when talking about race to their children. They don't want to burden their kids with their baggage, even though they know that discrimination -- often in the guise of implicit, or unconscious bias -- persists. But studies show that parents who talk to Black children about discrimination, racial pride and individual self worth, tend to raise academic achievers with strong self-esteem. Fundamental to such racial

socialization is crafting for our children a narrative of black culture and history that allows them to see that while our experience has been marked by struggle, there is a clear space within that for them to achieve. Black people, under the greatest duress, helped define American freedom. Our own family legacies are undoubtedly full of dramatic stories of survival, migration, immigration, faith, love, and varieties of achievement and overcoming adversity. Our communities are full of stirring history lessons -- whether they're historical buildings or the elders down the street -that teach our kids about the power of grit and perseverance. We, as adults, may first have to do some work ourselves, given the "miseducation" -- to steal a phrase from Woodson -- that many of us labor under, but it's worth it. We may find that in the process of sharing a narrative of achievement with our children, we are healing our own bruised sense of self. And a history of struggle can be the best gift we can give to our children. Research shows that we can counter stereotype threat, a test-taking anxiety that disproportionately impacts Black children (particularly males), by teaching them a "growth mindset" -- that intelligence is not doled out at (Continued on pg. 4)

Who's afraid of Black History? (Continued from pg. 3) birth; rather, the brain operates like a muscle: hard work and intentional practice can make our children smarter. Parents can encourage this by pushing their children to consistently work at the frontier of their abilities -- so that they struggle and occasionally fail. Seen in this light, struggle is critical to growth and learning and becomes a steppingstone to success, not evidence of inferiority. The United States is on an irreversible march to a racial and ethnic future so complex that it is hard to imagine. If we want our children to successfully navigate both the journey and that society, we must help to create spaces that encourage nuanced dialogue. For example, framed thoughtfully beforehand and

unpacked appropriately afterward, films such as "C.S.A." can cultivate a complicated understanding of race in America. But for this to happen, we need to allow institutions, including schools, to practice the growth mindset, as well. To work hard, to push their capacity, take risks, and occasionally make mistakes when it comes to race, and--with our input and feedback -- learn from their errors and course-correct. Finally, preparing Black children to lead in these areas requires that parents engage in introspection. If we want to Teflon coat our young people against bias and prepare them to lead complex conversations, we parents, too, must find our voice. Joe Brewster, M.D., Michèle Stephenson and Hilary Beard are the authors of "PROMISES KEPT: Raising Black Boys to Succeed in School and in Life." Brewster and Stephenson are codirectors of American Promise, which airs on PBS's POV this month.

The Counseling Corner By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Overcoming shame (Week 4) What is shame? On a most rudimentary level, shame is the underlying and pervasive belief that one is somehow defective or unacceptable. The Counseling Center of the University of Illinois indicates the precise way that a person believes they are unacceptable can be very unique. It might be that they think they are “too much” in some way — too talkative, too shy, too unattractive, or too emotional. It might be that they think they are “not enough” in some way — not smart enough, not funny enough, not thin enough, or not cool enough. Usually, if a person is struggling with an excess of shame, they believe they are defective in many ways. They feel unworthy, unlovable, or “bad.” While shame is a necessary human emotion that helps us develop a moral compass, it can become destructive in our lives. It can lead us to believe that we have to be perfect or else we are not lovable.

It can lead us to withdraw from others. It can lead us to be defensive and distant. It can lead us to feel depressed and anxious. It can lead us to be overly responsible and to seek approval excessively. It is often the experience that underlies addiction, infidelity, perfectionism, eating disorders, excessive dependency in relationships, and so many other problematic behaviors. How does one release the shackles of shame? The Counseling Center of the University of Illinois makes the following suggestions: 1. To begin moving past shame, you must first recognize it in your life. Notice when others are shaming you but also notice the ways in which you shame yourself. Do you say things to yourself like: “That was stupid! I can’t believe you said that!” “Who would want to talk to you?” “You look awful today!” These are shaming statements. It is important to be able to recognize when someone is shaming toward

you but it is also important to recognize that YOU might be the person who shames you the most. One way to think about this is that you must “turn up the volume” on the shaming statements in your life in order to hear them more clearly so you can change them – not so you can listen to them more closely. It is good also to understand the origins of our shame. Where did your shame originate? How did it start? How do you perpetuate it? Are you trying to stay close to someone who shames you by allowing them to continue shaming you? These are examples of questions we must ask ourselves in order to understand where our shame

comes from. 2. Develop compassion for yourself. Find ways to be loving toward you including accepting that you are human and you have limitations. When you act in ways you don’t like, be curious about it rather than critical. Forgive yourself for your past so that you can move on. It’s crucial to take a stand against shame by not shaming others or yourself. Try to make shaming a behavior that is simply unacceptable and forbidden. 3. Act in ways that demonstrate you are a person of worth and value. Sometimes even if you feel like you are not good enough, you can still operate in the world as if you have worth. This essentially sends a message back to yourself that counteracts the shame. If you treat yourself and others with respect, you develop more pride and self-esteem. It is important to be a good advocate for yourself in your journey toward healing from shame. Beloved, Paul wrote in Ro-

mans 8:1 the quintessential verse that covers feelings of shame and regret for the believer. He says: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Remember, once a person has confessed their sins, both past and present, they do not have to continue to live in shame and guilt over them. God has forgiven the believer and forgotten those sins. It is a good thing to remind yourself of this fact in order to forgive yourself and move forward in newness of life.

Bulletin Board For Valentine’s Day, MPS’ Milwaukee State supt., workforce secretary visit MPS’ Bradley High School of the Arts presented popular Tech ‘Tech Terns’ at soul show with Black History Month ties Froedtert construction site Partnership involves Cannon Design, Mortenson Construction, the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership/BIG STEP, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and MPS State Superintendent Tony Evers and Department of Workforce Development Secretary Reggie Newson joined Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton Thursday, February 13, 2014, to see the “Tech Terns” program offered at MPS’ Bradley Tech High School in action. This innovative program includes a two-year curriculum that enables students to explore and perform hands-on work in the design, construction, and operation of a building currently under construction: the 480,000-square-foot Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Center for Advanced Care. Organizers believe this is a first-of-its-kind career pathway development program in the United States. Eighteen Tech Terns high school students are spending their junior and senior years learning both in the classroom and on the construction site to discover more about the roles of various professionals in a creating a major medical facility.

From architecture and engineering to plumbing, interior design, and heavy machinery operations, the program enables students to explore a range of careers, including those requiring apprenticeship, two- or four-year degrees, or a combination of postsecondary experiences. Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin physicians, nurses, administrators — and even a transplant patient — have served as guest speakers, giving students the additional opportunity to learn more about career opportunities in health care. Tech Terns is a partnership involving Cannon Design, Mortenson Construction, the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership/BIG STEP, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and MPS. Architects, construction managers, technical and trades people, and hospital employees developed the curriculum, serve as on-site instructors, and collaborate with the Milwaukee Public Schools Career and Technical Education program and Bradley Tech.

Health & Fitness

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

5:2, how about you? (part 2)

Longevity and intermittent fasting, is it right for you?

With health delivery in such chaos and uncertainty, we at Carter Drug Store suggest arming yourselves with the latest up to date information, which hopefully will prevent minimum problems from escalating into major problems. You and your loved ones deserve the best treatment possible to survive in these difficult times. Jump on the monkey bars! Intermittent fasting (IF) with high intensity exercise is a powerful combination, bringing about positive changes in our genes as well as in our muscles. Exercise enhances the mechanisms of the adaptive stress response, including the reduction of whole body inflammation and deep cellular detox. Further, evidence shows that exercise is one of the most effective ways to shift the body into a fat burning machine, particularly exercising while in a fasting state. By practicing IF, you are living in a modified fasting state. It’s no secret that Americans don’t exercise regularly despite the overwhelming evidence of health benefits. Recently, we discussed the direct effects on the brain of regular exercise, now we can add that exercise turns on the adaptive stress response. (And, there is a connection

between the two.) Working out to combat degenerative disease while maintaining youthful biological markers takes us way beyond weight loss and fitness as motivators for exercise. How can food and supplements help? Quiet your appetite, and it suddenly becomes much easier to choose the right snack, as opposed to the ‘right now’ snack.” – Chilton Certain foods and particular supplements support intermittent fasting and trigger the underlying mechanisms of the adaptive stress response. This also means that if you don’t want to undertake the rigors of IF, you can still reap some of the benefits by adding the foods and supplements recommended here. In this section, we discuss the importance of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, dark chocolate, red wine, and black tea. We emphasize eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies. The supplements described are resveratrol, quercetin, grape seed extract, pterostilbene, and black tea extract. Fiber – Because we are eating less, it is especially important to increase fiber intake. Fiber helps us to feel full,

but that’s just the beginning. It can lower blood sugar, cut cholesterol, help prevent colon cancer, and discourage hemorrhoids. Further, it encourages the growth of intestinal flora (probiotics). Chilton’s recommendation is to eat 16 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories. That means about 15-32 grams of fiber daily. These amounts are similar to the recommended amount of fiber intake per day (which is not based on commensurate calories). However, only 3 percent of Americans get enough fiber. Here are some high fiber foods to consider. Beans are a high fiber bonanza, coming in at about 15 grams per cup cooked. A bowl of chili beans and you’re 1/2-1/3 of the way there. In general, a cup of whole grains contains less than half the fiber of beans. (For example, brown rice has 3.5 grams/cup.) Taking a look at veggies, an artichoke

has 10.3 grams; a cup of peas, 8.8; Brussels sprouts, 5. Among the fruit family, berries are a rich source. A cup of raspberries has 8 grams; blackberries, 7.6. Surprisingly, avocados have 6.7 grams per half. Nuts are healthy and have a lot of fiber. (Almonds have 16 grams/cup.) However, they are expensive calorie-wise: a 1/4 cup serving of almonds = 4 grams of fiber. Polyphenols – These are plant substances which are rich in a particular type of antioxidant. We are concerned with dark chocolate, red wine, and black tea. In season fruits are also members of this bioactive group. Dark chocolate has become a well known “health food” and imbibers know that the higher the percentage of cacao, the healthier the chocolate. Studies show the richer darks (60-70 percent cacao) decrease total cholesterol and LDL; decrease sticky blood and plaque formation in the arteries; decrease inflammation; and lower blood pressure. Chilton recommends 1.5-3.5 ounces of dark chocolate daily. Caveat: Chocolate can interfere with iron absorption. If you’re on an iron supple-

ment, wait at least 2 hours after the chocolate to take the iron. Red wine polyphenols may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL) and may help protect the lining of blood vessels of the heart. Resveratrol is one substance in red wine that’s gotten attention, and is known to protect against artery damage. The recommendation is one 6 oz glass of red with dinner 3-6 times weekly. Brewed tea decreases risks associated with heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. Bottled and reconstituted teas do not have the same effect. Drink black/green tea, Earl Grey, oolong, Ceylon, and Darjeeling. The polyphenol content of tea can be boosted by adding up to ½ cup fruit juice. Try pomegranate, cranberry, blueberry, cherry, orange, apple, cider, or Concord grape. (Continued next week) Reprinted With Permission Copyright © Nutrition News 2013 Home of the "Is It Healthy?"

Our goal is to create healthy, lifelong habits and behavior change, particularly among African Americans.” Kidney Sundays provides African American congregations with tools and materials, such as an event checklist and health ministry talking

points, to help elevate kidney disease as a health issue requiring attention. Congregations will conduct kidney health education sessions and provide blood pressure screenings. “We are thrilled to partner with NKDEP on this important initiative,” said Priscilla Murphy, 1st Vice-President of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. “Kidney Sundays is an opportunity for our nurses to directly affect the health of their communities. Through blood pressure screenings and kidney health presentations, we open the door to a discussion on kidney disease and raise awareness about risk factors.”

There are those though with deep and rich stories that help shaped black history and are influencers to this day. Here are four books on amazing men for Black History month or any time of the year.

Gaston died more than a century later with a fortune worth well over $130 million and a business empire spanning communications, real estate, and insurance. Gaston was, by any measure, a heroic figure whose wealth and influence bore comparison to J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. Here, for the first time, is the story of the life of this extraordinary pioneer, told by his niece and grandniece, the award-winning television journalist Carol Jenkins and her daughter Elizabeth Gardner Hines. Combining rich family lore with a deep knowledge of American social and economic history, Carol Jenkins and Elizabeth Hines unfold Gaston’s success story Stepin Fetchit: The Life & against the backdrop of a Times of Lincoln Perry century of crushing racial By Mel Watkins hatred and bigotry.

Perry was hailed by critic Robert Benchley as “the best actor that the talking movies have produced,” and Mel Watkins’s meticulously researched and sensitive biography reveals the paradoxes of this pioneering actor’s life, from Perry’s tremendous popularity to his money troubles and rowdy offscreen antics. As later generations come to recognize Perry’s prodigious talent and achievements, in Stepin Fetchit, Mel Watkins brilliantly and definitively illuminates the life and times of a legendary figure in American entertainment.

Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues By Elijah Wald HarperCollins, Jan 6, 2004 Biography & Autobiography 342 pages Robert Johnson's story presents a fascinating paradox: Why did this genius of the Delta blues excite so little interest when his records were first released in the 1930s? And how did this brilliant but obscure musician come to be hailed long after his death as the most important artist in early blues and a founding father of rock 'n' roll? Elijah Wald provides the first thorough examination of Johnson's work and makes it the centerpiece for a fresh look at the entire history of the blues. He traces the music's rural folk roots but focuses on its evolution as a hot, hip AfricanAmerican pop style, placing the great blues stars in their proper place as innovative popular artists during one of the most exciting periods in American music. He then goes on to explore how the image of the blues was reshaped by a world of generally white fans, with very different standards and dreams. The result is a view of the blues from the inside, based not only on recordings but also on the recollections of the musicians themselves, Black Titan the African American press, By Carol Jenkins, Elizabeth and original research.

Celebrating Black History Month

Cream City Medical Society: The history of African Americans in medicine in Milwaukee (part 1) By: Rene’ Settle-Robinson, D.P.M., Cheryl R. Martin, M.D. (2002), Bernestine Jeffers and Sana Montgomery (2002), Additions and Revisions by: Mbili F. Waller (2007), Janine A. James, M.D. (2002 and 2007) As we celebrate Black History Month, let us take a moment to look back to those locally in the medical field and how they have helped shape medicine as we know it today. At the beginning of the 20th century, slavery had been over less than fifty years, legal segregation had become codified, and professional medical care was unavailable to African Americans. Primary medical options for the black community included the use of spirituality, indigenous medicines, home remedies, “root doctors,” and healing churches, among others. The 155 medical schools in existence around the turn of the century did not allow admission to African Americans. By 1900, Howard Medical School (founded in 1868) and Meharry Medical College (founded in 1876) as well as five other African American schools had been established. The American Medical Association (AMA) sought to raise the professional standards of medical education and licensure in the early 1900s. A federal committee was formed to study and restructure medical education. The Flexner Report was the result. By 1920, over one half of the white medical schools had closed or merged. Two all-black medical schools remained, Howard Medical School and Meharry Medical College. Harvard University and the University of Michigan also admitted African Americans. Meharry continues to graduate 15 percent of all black physicians in the 21st century and has the only black dental school in the country. The reasoning behind closing five of the medical schools for blacks was that “the practice of the Negro doctor would be limited to his own race.” John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and other white philanthropists provided funding to black medical schools with the intent to focus only on “basic medical skills.” Research and specialized training were unavailable. Internships and residencies were extremely limited. Even the blacks who had graduated from Harvard and the University of Michigan had difficulty in the South obtaining hospital privileges in black hospitals. As an example, the entire state of Mississippi had forty-two beds available to black

physicians in 1928. The ramifications of the Flexner Report had a chilling effect as only 2-3 percent of students gaining admission to medical schools were black and they primarily attended Howard and Meharry. Between the 1860s and 1960s, these two schools provided education and training for the majority of black physicians. By 1920, there were only 3,855 black physicians in the United States for a population of 10.5 million Pictured from left to right in 1965; Walter White, D.D.S. (deceased), Randle African Americans.
