Combating systemic racism in medicine with Dr. Uché Blackstock

Racism is killing black people, and emergency room doctor Dr. Uché Blackstock is working tirelessly to make things right. His New York Times bestseller /"Legacy/" aims to educate the masses about the systemic inequities that affect patients and those who wish to become healthcare providers. She joins The Blackest Questions as a History Maker to discuss some of medicine's forgotten Black heroes and encourage people to take control of their health and fight for better representation. The increasing mortality rate of Black babies and their mothers is a prominent topic in the conversation as Dr. Greer and Dr. Uché examine the direct connection between this issue and racism.
