- Summary:
- "When the Tuskegee Veteran's Hospital opened in 1923, many in the Veteran's Bureau believed that black physicians and nurses were not competent to staff the facility. Except for nurses' aides, orderlies, attendants and laborers, hospital personnel would be white. The history of the hospital reflects the struggle for racial equality in the United States"-- Provided by publisher.
