The Appalachian Trail is a much more diverse place in 2023 than it was as recently as 20 years ago. But if you spend much time on the trail, you know it's still a pretty white place. There are many stories about the challenges faced by members of marginalized communities who hike the AT, and we need a lot more research to better understand how the history of the trail and the history of race are closely interwoven. On today's episode, attorney Krystal Williams of Maine and historian Phoebe Young of the University of Colorado-Boulder help us explore specifically how the history of the AT crosses paths with African American history, in ways you might not expect.

In part two of our Medical Apartheid episode, I continue my discussion about Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present by Harriet A. Washington. (As a refresher) 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."

Dreams are a normal part of sleep. They help us process information and sort through our emotions. Sometimes, dreams can be strange or even Lucid dreaming is when you know you are dreaming while you are dreaming. This usually happens when you become aware of your dreaming environment and are able to control the dream. Some people report being able to do things they couldn't do in real life, like flying.The history of sleep is a long and complicated one. For centuries, people didn't really understand what sleep was or why we needed it. It wasn't until the late 1800s that scientists developed a better understanding of sleep and dreaming. They discovered that sleep is actually made up of several different stages, including dreaming.The 8-hour sleep cycle is the most commonly recommended amount of sleep for adults. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to how much sleep we need. Some people may need more or less than 8 hours. The important thing is to get enough quality sleep to feel rested and refreshed.>write about Constantine's dream that changed historyIn the early 4th century, Emperor Constantine had a dream that he should convert to Christianity. After this dream, he issued the Edict of Milan, which made Christianity legal in the Roman Empire. This was a major turning point in history and helped to spread Christianity throughout the world. Dreams can sometimes be prophetic or contain important messages from our subconscious.Sleep is important for all animals, including humans. It helps us to rest and recover from the day's activities. Sleep also allows our brains to process information and sort through memories. Some animals, like dolphins, can even sleep with one half of their brain while the other half remains awake. This allows them to keep watch for predators while they rest.As you can see, dreaming and sleep are fascinating topics with a lot of history and research behind them. There is still much we don't know about dreaming, but scientists continue to study this intriguing phenomenon. Whether you enjoy dreaming or not, it's clear that sleep is an essential part of our lives. Thanks for listening!

The His & Her Money Show: Managing Money, Marriage, and Everything In Between
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!

In our inaugural new episode, Ebun and Mae take a deep dive into questions about the impact of COVID-19 on communities of color. From cultural responses to lockdown and the need for a government response to creating a more just and inclusive public health system, our host break down multiple dimensions of the pandemic and point toward some resources to learn more.

Through empirical evidence, her work seeks to document how racism becomes "embodied" through the neighborhood context and how this fundamental structural determinant of racial health inequities can be leveraged for transformative change through anti-racist policy initiatives. Dr. Barber’s research is framed through a structural racism lens, grounded in interdisciplinary theories (e.g. Ecosocial Theory and Critical Race Theory) and employs various advanced methodological techniques including multilevel modeling and longitudinal data analyses. Her articles and commentary appear in leading publications, including the Lancet Infectious Disease, the American Journal of Public Health, Social Science and Medicine, and The Nation. A member of the Health Justice Advisory Committee for the Poor People’s Campaign, Dr. Barber is committed to using her scholarship to make the invisible visible, mobilize data for action, and contribute to the transnational dialogue around racism and health inequities.

In the days before the board game Operation or Play Doh's dentist head, doctors needed something to hone their knowledge of the human anatomy. So they hired people to bring them dead bodies dug up fresh from the graveyards. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly talk about these night doctors and resurrectionists who gave a new meaning to the phrase the big sleep.

Dr. Jill Wener discusses systemic racism, anti-racism, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the concept of reverse racism. Dr. Wener is the host of the Conscious Anti-Racism podcast. [01:48] Dr. Wener’s Journey into Anti-racism [08:39] White Supremacy Culture and Systemic Racism [15:27] Racism in Medicine [19:26] Why Reverse Racism Cannot Exist [27:40] Why Black Lives Matter exists [31:16] Internal Versus External Work to Combat Racism [37:19] Resources on Anti-racism Dr. Jill Wener is the host of the Conscious Anti-Racism podcast and creator of a curriculum with the same name. But I am Not Racist! Dr. Wener began leaning into her discomfort around race after a friend admonished her on the racially privileged perspective of her blog post on the 2016 election. Initially defensive, she knew that if she did implicitly have harmful views on race, she needed to correct them. Just like Dr. Wener, many white people are sometimes defensive about race, and reluctant to agree that they are racist and that they benefit from white supremacy and white privilege. They often cite the hard work that they have invested to achieve success, and how they never use their racial privilege. However, Dr. Wener describes the systemic racism in the US as a “toxic fume soup” in which we are all immersed. White people inevitably benefit from their race, even if they do not intend to do so. To illustrate one of the many ways in which white people unintentionally benefit from the color of their skin, Dr. Wener shares her story of being ticketed for using her cell phone in the car. She describes exiting her vehicle to stretch while waiting, and trying to explain to the officer that she had only taken out her phone to take a picture of an advertisement for a farmer’s market. Once the officer gauged that she was a doctor, he explained that he would not have ticketed her. At the time, Dr. Wener did not count this as an incident of her white privilege. But in hindsight, she knows that if she had acted similarly as a black person, she would have been shot or arrested. She knows a black friend who drives with a stethoscope and his medical ID hanging on his rearview mirror to protect himself from harm. White people can go through life without considering their race very much, whilst black people must always be aware and take precautions to protect themselves. Why Reverse Racism Cannot Exist Young adult author Kimberly Jones, encourages us to consider a game of Monopoly where the game has been fixed against some players i.e. black people. For four hundred rounds, black people have been working for no pay under slavery, not being able to own land or anything. Then, for another fifty rounds, money that black people earned was taken from them (consider Tulsa). Now, imagine that after four hundred and fifty rounds, suddenly, black people are told to just start playing the game as “equals.” The hundreds of rounds of damage has not been undone. Therefore, when special spaces are created for black people, or when special opportunities are given to them, it cannot be considered racism on white people, rather, it is taking the first steps towards equality. Racism is the systemic oppression of the weak by the powerful. Systemically, white people have the power, therefore they cannot be the victims of racism. Relatedly, Black Lives Matter does not imply that other lives do not matter. Rather, the name demonstrates that previously, black lives have not been treated as if they matter, and now we acknowledge that they matter just as much as white lives. Racism in Medicine The boards of most hospitals and the dean’s office of schools, in other words people in power, often lack representation from people of color. In patient care, research has demonstrated that med students think that black people feel less pain. Differential diagnosis methods, which are designed with good intentions, often result in stating the races of people of color, whilst assuming the default race to be white. The treatment of sickle cell patients is often entrenched in distrust and false ideas. Racism is rampant in medicine. As a physician, you can practice anti-racist allyship in medicine by reaching out to the diversity inclusion officer at your hospital to ask if there are projects that you can work on. Do not put the burden of dealing with your racism on black shoulders by asking about what you can do to be less racist. Black people do enough emotional labor simply by dealing with the racism thrown at them daily.

Thanks for tuning in to our new segment on Brown Girl Bible called Mommy Mondays. On this episode I talk about my experience of navigating through the medical field as a pregnant black woman. I highlight some history of medical apartheid as I reference Harriet A. Washington. She wrote the book "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present". Check out her interview on one of my favorite podcasts called "Truth's Table" here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/you-okay-sis-medical-apartheid-with-harriet-a-washington/id1212429230?i=1000433010203 We are still reading through the Bible chronologically in 2020 Check our link below for the reading plan.

Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
Harriet A. Washington is an award-winning medical writer and editor, and the author of the best-selling book, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present. She is also the author of the notable book, A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and its Assault on the American Mind. In her work, Harriet focuses mainly on bioethics, the history of medicine, African-American health issues, and the intersection of medicine, ethics, and culture. In this podcast episode (which is PART 1 of our two-part conversation), Harriet sheds light on why environmental injustice is not just a matter socioeconomic status, but also about race; how standardized tests such as the IQ test, created by the western education system based on the things that the western culture values, have been used as tools to perpetuate institutionalized injustice; and more.

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#

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#

Drs. Sheryl Heron and Camara Phyllis Jones join us to discuss race and how it affects our practice in the ED. Objectives: Debunk misunderstandings about the biological basis of race Analyze the relationship between race, social determinants of health, and health outcomes Discuss interventions that work to improve racial health disparities Predict how race may play a role in current policy and public health problems Take-home points: Race is a social, not biological, construction Ancestry is poor marker genetics, and race a poor indicator of ancestry Racial health disparities are driven by racial disparities in social determinants of health Residential segregation is a large driver of disparities in SDH Working deliberately to treat racial groups similarly on individual and population levels is necessary to ameliorating racial health disparities Additional resources: Allegories on Race and Racism.

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.

Today, Professor Cornell William Brooks begins an hour-long discussion of the living legacy of racial inequality in today's America. Could a commission to consider reparations and solutions to voter suppression create a chance for our country to come to grips with the truth of its past and present? Can we ever right the long term consequences of the wealth stolen from people of color both before and since the end of outright slavery?Plus Thom reads from "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" by Harriet A. Washington.
The Context of White Supremacy hosts our third 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 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 pollution 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 detailed the cumulative and generational damage of lead poisoning. She examined how routinely black people are blamed for being poisoned by lead as though they polluted their own environment. #ChemicalAndBiologicalWarfare #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

This week, we're talking about a challenge we've been having with our parents lately. 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.
