Using an array of visual and textual materials from the archives of Philadelphia's Douglass Hospital School of Nursing, this presentation will center the important role of Black women in the establishment and growth of Douglass Hospital.
Situated at the intersection of African American, medical and women’s history, this presentation underscores the significance of Black women’s unpaid and underpaid labor in addressing the health, spiritual and material needs of their communities at a time when resources and opportunities for Black Philadelphians were scarce and in high demand.
Speaker:
Hafeeza Anchrum, PhD, RN, postdoctoral fellow in the Race, Science and Society program at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Anchrum also co-manages the “Penn Medicine and Afterlives of Slavery Project.
This event is hosted by the Midwest Nursing History Research Center.
