THRILLED that uché blackstock, md has an extraordinary book out, Legacy: A Black Woman Reckons with Racism in Medicine.

Gayle King from her CBS Mornings interview: 'I think this book should be required reading for all medical students black and white... It was jawdropping...'

Oh my goodness. How extraordinary. (And Harry Belafonte has come back in new form to fight cancer)

Thank you so much for having me on this morning, Gayle King, Vladimir Duthiers, Nathaniel E Burleson, and CBS Mornings on my pub day for my very first interview about my new book LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine!! 🩺

Where King spoke, we are still learning to see our whole history, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis writes wapo.st/3ShyrU5

Opinion | At the National Cathedral, we are still learning to see our history - “The work of revision—of re-seeing—must continue. For where we once blocked our rightful view of one another, we now have the means to build windows.” ⁦Sarah Elizabeth Lewis⁩ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Woodrow Wilson is the only president buried at the National Cathedral. It is also the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final Sunday sermon, days before he was assassinated. I reflect on this, the Confederate history of the WNC, and the work it takes to see here for #MLKDay :

'It takes so long for us to see.' I love this essay by Sarah Lewis. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

'To examine this history is to expose how we have learned *not* to see the fictions that legitimate racial injustice and inequity. The work of revision — of re-seeing — must continue... The question is whether we still have the will.'

I think we all just need to name every day a gratitude day and just eat chicken, turkey, or whatever and walk together and give thanks.
