In this episode please listener discretion is advised… We deviate from the usual spirituality and speak on Black Medicine and the nature of experimentation on Black People for the sake of medical advancement. This is just the tip of the iceberg… For deep understanding I highly recommend the book Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington.

And this brings Season 7 to a close! For our final episode, we are joined by Humanize Podcast hosts Courthney Russell Jr. and Emily Braucher. These two use their podcast as a platform for social justice, engaging in honest conversations about race, and not shying away from uncomfortable, vulnerable, messy terrain. What an absolute pleasure to have this pair on our show, make sure you check out their podcast!  Listen to hear us talk about - How Courthney & Emily began working together - How nerve wracking it is to get to know each other publicly on the podcast.   - Conversational podcasts can teach listeners that it is normal to have challenging conversations, and how to navigate them. Raising consciousness through modeling.  - Is it delusional to have hope in these times?  - How healing it can be to be honest with ourselves: acknowledging our conditioning and shame. - What is the role of white people in racial justice work?   About our guests: Courthney Russell Jr. grew up on KY and lived in the Virgin Islands. By the time he graduated from high school, Courthney's tendency toward stereotypical behavior had him on a collision course with incarceration or death. In a last-ditch effort, he applied to medical school and was surprised to be accepted. After experiencing homelessness and graduated in 2011 with a medical degree and a new mission: leverage his knowledge in a non-traditional way to become an authentic, determined, humble leader. Today, this looks like (a) co-founding a non-profit focused on serving the homeless and vulnerable (b) co-founding WeUp CBO, a company dedicated to addressing poverty through education, healthcare, and employment © He also is the co-host of The Humanize Podcast and is board president of a Co-Op organization in Denver, Colorado.   Emily Braucher is a keynote speaker and trainer who is singularly focused on helping people create trusting relationships across differences. She does this by teaching clients the tools to overcome the three challenges that inevitably get in the way of trust: ego, culture and power. For the last decade, Emily has worked with corporate, non-profit, academic, and government clients on strengthening the inclusive brain, fostering the “trust mindset,” creating psychological safety and practicing stress management techniques, always pointing people towards the best version of themselves. In addition to running ReFresh Communication, Emily is also co-host of the podcast, Humanize: Stories from the Heart about Social Justice.   What Courthney & Emily are hooked on right now: - Reading: Medical Apartheid by Harriet A.

Today is Earth Day, a good occasion as any to reflect on the emergencies the planet currently faces. First, Harriet A. Washington, author of A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind, talks to NPR's Sarah McCammon about the long-term damage environmental issues can have on brain development—particularly for people of color. Next, the author David Wallace-Wells talks to NPR's Rachel Martin about his book The Uninhabitable Earth, which is a lot more hopeful than the title might suggest. He runs through the worst-case scenarios climate change could wreak, and why every effort we make against further global warming matters.

In part one of our Medical Apartheid episode, we will be discussing Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present by Harriet A. Washington. Here's a brief summary of the book courtesy of the author/publisher: "The first full history of Black America's shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this masterful book that will stir up both controversy and long-needed debate. From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge—a tradition that continues today within some black populations.  It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government's notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions.  The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused Black Americans to view researchers—and indeed the whole medical establishment—with such deep distrust." This week's "Musings of Tired Black Social Worker" segment topic is fighting insecurity to connect with others.

This week we're exploring the epidemic within the pandemic — Black Maternal health. We're using information from Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington, USC, and Naughtyflower's experience to explain the gap in healthcare for Black women.

Bacteria made the first sounds on Earth, dinosaurs likely belched and bugled instead of roared, and for millennia, the Earth was largely silent. Why it took so long for communicative sound to emerge—and how it flourished into the coos, croaks, cries, and cacophony of today—is the subject of David George Haskell's new book, Sounds Wild and Broken. While documenting the sonic marvels of the world, Haskell arrived at the alarming conclusion that we're in an acoustic crisis. Manmade sounds and behavior are causing insects and songbirds to die out, disrupting whale song and silencing shrimp, creating stress in our own minority communities, and generating countless other aural ills. David George Haskell, a professor of biology and environmental studies at Sewanee: The University of the South and a Guggenheim Fellow, joins us on the podcast to talk about why sound matters.Go beyond the episode:David George Haskell's Sounds Wild and Broken: Sonic Marvels, Evolution's Creativity, and the Crisis of Sensory ExtinctionListen to more sounds from the book in this playlist“The Insect Apocalypse Is Here,” Brook Jarvis writes in The New York Times MagazineDespite a 2008 U.S. Navy report in which it admitted that its sonar killed whales, whale beachings and deaths from military sonar continue even todayIn The Conversation: “Urban noise pollution is worst in poor and minority neighborhoods and segregated cities”See also: Scholar contributor Harriet A.

We discuss the historic legacy of Black Exotica. Displaying black bodies as entertainment and or scientific/medical racism. We reference Authors Pamela Newkirk(Spectacle), Keven Young(Bunk), Harriet A. Washington(Medical Apartheid) and Neely Fuller Jr. We play a clip of Dave Chappelle Rick James skit to add additional context. 

A lot has to do with the ability to admit the painful truth about American racism in healthcare and then to make the equally painful changes that it requires,” says Harriet A. Washington, medical ethicist, American writer, and the author of Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present and Carte Blanche

We discuss the dark history of medical experimentation on Black Americans from colonial times to the present. We also critique the mass media for manufacturing consent. We use an interview of Medical Apartheid Author Harriet A. Washington as the foundation of this discussion. We play clips of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, NPR, Dr. Rupa Marya & Edward Bernays to add context.

With recent events, including the murder of Breona Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery, the holes in the system and our society as a whole have once again come to light, and everybody has questions. Why do these things keep happening? What needs to change, and who can make that change? When? Some of these answers may be grey, but as black people, it's imperative that we keep these lines of communication open. So, that's exactly what we're doing today. In this episode of the His & Her Money Show, Dr. Christina Edmondson is taking the world to school on race, gender, and especially, changing up the narrative for black women. Christina, mom of two and wife of a pastor, holds a Master's degree with a background in sociology and psychology, so she knows a whole lot about a WHOLE LOT, and she's here today dropping nuggets on some of the key points to unifying ourselves socially, spiritually, and beyond.   WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Breaking down problematic stereotypes We discuss black identity The "role" of the black woman through history, and how Christina hopes we can change the narrative Recognizing the many forms of systemic racism We discuss current events such as the murder of George Floyd and the spark of change ignited in America Breaking down the mistreatment of black women in the medical industry   RESOURCES MENTIONED Follow Christina @DrCEdmondson on Twitter!

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Charles “Chip” Jones. A Pulitzer-Prize-nominated journalist and author, Jones is a White man who’s worked and written about the Commonwealth of Virginia for a number of years. We’ll discuss his more recent text, The Organ Thieves: The Shocking Story of the First Heart Transplant in the Segregated South. The book describes how a black male, Bruce Tucker, died under peculiar circumstances in 1968. As opposed to having his family notified, so they could comfort Mr. Tucker in his final moments, no one was contacted until Tucker was deceased and his heart stolen. The heart was later “found” inside a White man as the state bragged about the first successful heart transplant in the region. We’ll place this in the context of the “coonman” Governor Ralph Northam, who graduated medical school in Virginia, and the current Covid-19 health crisis. Gus learned about The Organ Thieves from the great Harriet A. Washington. The author of Medical Apartheid, Carte Blanche and A Terrible Thing to Waste said that Jones’s book is important, but fails to provide important context. #BlackMalePrivilege #MedicalApartheid INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

At the outset of the Coronavirus pandemic, it was widely assumed that African Americans and LatinX people were more reluctant to get the COVID 19 vaccine than White people. Since then, it is now apparent that while access to the vaccine is different for African Americans, rates of hesitancy between races is about the same. In fact, data shows that Republican men, most of whom are white, are more likely to be unwilling to receive the vaccine than Black people. The narrative about vaccine hesitancy among people in communities of color grew out of distrust of medical research that is premised on the experience in two famous cases: one is Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman who died of cancer in the 1950s, and whose extraordinary cells were harvested for research by doctors at Johns Hopkins without her consent. Those cells are still used for research today. The second is the case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which men who were infected with the disease were left untreated. The unethical and deadly behavior of researchers in the Tuskegee Study was revealed in 1972. And for more than a decade, Johns Hopkins has honored the legacy of Henrietta Lacks, and used her story to study its implications for informed consent in medicine. Informed consent is the focus on this archive edition of Midday. Tom's guest is the award-winning author and medical ethicist, Harriet A. Washington.In her latest book, Washington states, flatly, that “We have frequently abandoned informed consent and today remain guilty of burgeoning medical experimentation without consent of any type.” She goes on to say that “Informed consent, or even simple consent, have been withheld consistently in research with African Americans.” Her book is called Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent.Harriet Washington joined us in February, on Zoom.

There have always been health inequities in certain communities, but the Covid-19 epidemic has exacerbated many of them and brought them to the forefront of the public's mind over the past year. In this episode, Rae sits down with Fred Cerise, CEO of Parkland Health and Hospital System, and Steve Miff, president and CEO of Parkland's Center for Clinical Innovation, to talk about why the health system stepped in to address inequities in Covid-19 vaccinations and how they're doing it. At the end of this episode, Rae talks to Solomon Banjo about what Parkland does well, where they could push further, and offer his advice to organizations at the beginning of their equity journey.

Washington. Rae and Solomon are reading it now!

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Harriet A. Washington, the author of "Carte Blanche", to tackle the ethical issue of medical consent being abused in America.

A recent Gallop poll found that 71 percent of people surveyed are willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. That means nearly 3 in 10 aren’t – even as some employers and schools may one day require vaccinations. Harriet A. Washington, a lecturer in bioethics at Columbia University, joins host Krys Boyd to talk about her research into a patient’s right to decline a procedure and the ethics of forcing experiments or new treatments in the name of research. Her book is “Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent.”

On today's Midday, a conversation with the award-winning author and ethicist, Harriet A. Washington, about the human costs of unethical medical research. In the current national debate about vaccine hesitancy among people in communities of color, people point to distrust of medical research that is premised on the experience in two famous cases:  one is Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman who died of cancer in the 1950s, and whose extraordinary cells were harvested for research by doctors at Johns Hopkins without her consent.  Those cells are still used for research today.  The second is the case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which men who were infected with the disease were left untreated.   The unethical and deadly behavior of researchers in the Tuskegee Study was revealed in 1972.  And for more than a decade, Johns Hopkins has honored the legacy of Henrietta Lacks, and used her story to study its implications for informed consent in medicine.   Harriet Washington's award-winning 2007 book, Medical Apartheid, documents these and other medical abuses that have been visited on people of color for centuries. So, does that mean that research without the fully informed consent of participants a vestige of the past, and that current practice has what is necessary to safeguard against any future abuse?... Harriet Washington answers that questions with a resounding, “No.”  In her latest book, Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent (published by Columbia Global Reports), Washington states flatly that “We have frequently abandoned informed consent and today remain guilty of burgeoning medical experimentation without consent of any type.”  She goes on to say that “Informed consent, or even simple consent, have been withheld consistently in research with African Americans.” Harriet Washington joins us on Zoom… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I give an overview of the book Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington. It gives a comprehensive history of Black America's shocking mistreatment at the hands of the medical establishment. This is a must read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between African Americans and the healthcare system. It is my hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of patients that look like me.

14 million Americans have lost their health care coverage since the start of the pandemic. How have Republicans worked to enrich their big donors by rigging the system on their behalf? Why does big pharma work to stop the importation of cheap drugs from other countries? What are the pitfalls Republicans built into Medicare to shovel cash to the insurance industry, and what pitfalls should the average person be ready for? Plus Thom reads from 'Medical Apartheid' by Harriet A. Washington.

How Lead And Other Environmental Toxins Are Affecting Us | This episode is brought to you by Simple MillsEighty thousand toxic chemicals have been released into our environment since the dawn of the industrial revolution, yet very few have been tested for their long-term impact on human health. This has both major health and economic consequences. Every year we spend 50 billion dollars and lose 23 million IQ points to lead toxicity alone, which affects people of color the most, regardless of social class and income level. And you may be surprised to learn that there are many government policies and even sanctioned decisions to dump toxins that end up poisoning communities of color and stealing children’s cognition and health.Dr. Hyman sat down with Harriet Washington to discuss how we are ignoring this massive health crisis and what can be done to fix it. Harriet A. Washington has been the Shearing Fellow at the University of Nevada’s Black Mountain Institute, a Research Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School, a senior research scholar at the National Center for Bioethics at Tuskegee University, and a visiting scholar at DePaul University College of Law. She has held fellowships at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Stanford University.

Why Cultural Competency Is Key To A Healthy Population | This episode is brought to you Four SigmaticBlack, Indigenous, and people of color are far more likely to get sick and die from the 10 leading causes of death due to a range of factors. Among these is lack of access and the cascading effects of racism, prejudice, stereotyping, and unconscious bias on minority health. And unfortunately, this is a historic problem, with injustices such as the Tuskegee syphilis experiment that started in the 1930s leading to a deep mistrust of the medical system that still lingers in the Black community today. Dr. Hyman recently explored this history and current practices in the medical system in conversations with Dr. Charles Modlin and Harriet Washington. He also spoke with Dr. Modlin and Tawny Jones about the importance of creating culturally competent healthcare initiatives to remove many of the barriers that perpetuate racial health disparities.Dr. Charles Modlin is a Kidney Transplant Surgeon, Urologist, Executive Director of Minority Health, and the Cleveland Clinic Physician Lead for Public Health. He is the past President of Cleveland Clinic Medical Staff, Member Board of Governors and Board of Trustees. He founded and directs Cleveland Clinic’s Minority Men’s Health Center (MMHC) and in 2003 established Cleveland Clinic’s Annual Minority Men’s Health Fair. In 2011, he was named by The Atlanta Post as one of the Top 21 Black Doctors in America. He graduated from Northwestern University and Northwestern University Medical School, completed a six-year residency in Urology at New York University, a three-year fellowship in kidney transplantation surgery at Cleveland Clinic and joined the Cleveland Clinic Staff in 1996. He is a noted national leader for eliminating health disparities. Honors include appointment to the Ohio Commission on Minority Health by two Ohio Governors, Northwestern University Presidential Alumni Medal, 2007 MLK Community Service Award, Call & Post 100 Top Influential Leaders, Cleveland Magazine Best Doctors, Cleveland Clinic Bruce Hubbard Stewart Humanitarianism Award, and 2015 Black Professional Association Professional of the Year recognition.Harriet A.

“It’s really important to draw attention to not only the physical but also the mental consequences of a rampant environmental poisoning,” says medical ethicist Harriet A. Washington. In her book A Terrible Thing to Waste, Washington outlines the staggering, extensive impact of environmental racism. She examines how marginalized communities—and particularly the infants and children in these communities—are disproportionately affected by lead poisoning, atmospheric pollution, infectious disease, and industrial waste. In this conversation, she also takes on the IQ debate and the flawed science behind it. IQ, Washington reveals, is a misused metric that has had devastating effects on our country. And now, we have a critical opportunity to remedy many of these toxic effects. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our seventh study session on Harriet A. Washington's A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind. Washington is a science writer, editor and ethicist who's held prestigious positions at the most elite academies across the globe. Her debut work, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, is one of Gus's all time favorites and is widely hailed as a depressing and immaculate historical record of White medical terrorism against black people. A Terrible Thing to Waste explores the impact of environmental Racism - the deliberate poisoning of areas that will disproportionately and adversely impact non-white people. Many of the toxic impacts of this pollution are unknown to the victims and can have lifelong debilitating impacts on quality of life and brain functioning. Last week's segment offered a wealth of suggestion on how black people can protect themselves from the wealth of toxins Racists dump on our areas. She suggested small things such as not wearing shoes in our houses, using some sort of water filter device to help purify your water, keeping windows closed during high traffic hours if your live near busy intersections. She also talked about the relationship between "mad cow" disease and Alzheimer's diagnosis among black people. Evidence suggests, tainted meats can greatly impact health - particularly for pregnant mothers. If you're planning to have a family, there should be a great deal of time invested in thinking about what the mother and father eat, where you live, testing the quality of your water, and the air quality of your living area. #EnvironmentRacism #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Her debut work, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, is one of Gus's all time favorites and is widely hailed as a depressing and immaculate historical record of White medical terrorism against black people. A Terrible Thing to Waste explores the impact of environmental Racism - the deliberate poisoning of areas that will disproportionately and adversely impact non-white people. The non-white victims are generally kept ignorant about the poisons saturating their environment and potentially jeopardizing their long term health and brain functioning. During last week's session, Washington described the debilitating impact of cigarette smoking - including damaging the brain. She evidenced how cigarettes and alcohol are overly promoted in areas where mostly black people reside. The chapter also documented how alcohol companies aggressively market to underage black children. Alcohol consumption cannot be beneficial to still-developing minds. Washington shared the evidence shows White Women are more likely to consume alcohol during pregnancy, but black females are more likely to have a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Gus and other listeners suspect Racists could be adding chemicals to the malt liquors and fortified alcohols marketed to black people. #TheCOWS11 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

A Terrible Thing to Waste explores the impact of environmental Racism - the deliberate poisoning of areas that will disproportionately and adversely impact non-white people. Many of the toxic impacts of this pollution are unknown to the victims and can have lifelong debilitating impacts on quality of life and brain functioning. During last week's session, Washington continues to stockpile silos of evidence that Whites often knowingly place black people in areas that are bulging with toxins and harmful chemicals. She continues to emphasize how these poisons impact children - whose bodies and brains are still developing. Toxins like lead can have a substantially more harmful impact if the child is exposed during key developmental periods. In some instances, like Fort Myers, Florida, Whites dumped industrial waste and arsenic in area where large numbers of black people would be encouraged to live. There was not so much as a cardboard sign erected to suggest the dangerous hazards of the area. Washington has consistently stressed that this is not a problem of poverty because poor Whites are not poisoned in the same manner as black people. "A study of the 171 largest cities in the United States concluded that there is not even one city where whites live under equal conditions with blacks." #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS11 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Many of the toxic impacts of this pollution are unknown to the victims and can have lifelong debilitating impacts on quality of life and brain functioning. During last week's session, Washington detailed the behavioral impact of certain toxins that are disproportionately stockpiled in areas where black people reside. Washington placed particular attention on the way that black parents are frequently blamed for the harmful side-effects of environmental racism. Paying attention to Baltimore, Maryland, Washington evidenced how Whites would deliberately poison black children and families to experiment with techniques for treating lead poisoning. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Many of the toxic impacts of this pollution are unknown to the victims and can have lifelong debilitating impacts on quality of life and brain functioning. During last week's session, Washington devoted the first chapter to the history of Whites globally insisting that black people are stupid. She noted the enduring appeal of pseudo-scientific publications spanning centuries that conclude Whites are brilliant and black people are the biggest dunces in the galaxy - and should thus be mistreated. She contrasted this with the deliberate poisoning of black people that routinely occurs with environmental racism. She recognized the efforts of late attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., who won a $700 million lawsuit in Anniston, Alabama, where black people were being subjected to years of chemical and biological warfare. #ChemicalAndBiologicalWarfare #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Both of our parents are elderly and medical care is essential for them, but they don't seem to take medical advice seriously, or at least not as seriously as we'd like them to sometimes. At the same time, though, we were reading this book by Harriet A. Washington called Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present is a 2007- and this book cleared up some things and made other things more complex . It is a history of medical experimentation on African Americans. From the era of slavery to the present day, this book presents the first full account of black America's mistreatment as unwitting subjects of medical experimentation (that last sentence came straight from Wikipedia because... I'm tired). Though this isn't a book review, we did talk about many of the points made in the book and how it will affect us and our parents moving forward.
