Legacy

by Uch Blackstock, MD

In 'Legacy,' Dr. Uch Blackstock shares her inspiring journey from a child growing up in Brooklyn, surrounded by Black women physicians, to becoming a Harvard-educated ER physician and professor. With personal tales and insights, she exposes the pervasive racism and systemic inequities in the U.S. healthcare system, particularly affecting Black women, both as patients and medical professionals. The memoir serves as a powerful call to action, advocating for transformation towards an equitable healthcare landscape under the critical lens of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. 'Legacy' is an essential narrative that intersects personal ambition with the persistent fight for justice and equality in medicine.
