Duluth Meeting RoomAward-winning journalist Nicole Carr discusses her book, "The Price of Exclusion," the untold history of Black medical professionals who have long fought to heal their communities - while confronting a system built to exclude them.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Americans died at nearly twice the rate of their white counterparts—a disparity rooted not only in access to care but in a long history of exclusion, exploitation, and systemic racism. How did we get here, and why, despite generations of Black medical excellence, do these inequities persist? In The Price of Exclusion, journalist Nicole Carr uncovers that history and its urgent consequences, exposing the hidden toll of America’s refusal to value Black doctors and their patients.
