About This Item
Westport, CT, U.S.A.: Greenwood Press, 1994. This is a study of the rise of hospital care and services provided to African-Americans from the antebellum era to the integration era; it examines the history, development, and significance of Black hospitals and their sources of funding and support, and explores why so few Black hospitals remain; it also examines two historical public policies, the federal Freedman's Bureau policy from 1865 to 1869 and the federal Hill-Burton Act from 1946 to 1974; includes an appendix of black hospitals organized by state (brown cloth with gold lettering on front & spine; slightly creased at bottom of spine; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy; in stock & available for immediate shipment from an independent bookstore). Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket.
