Considered a forerunner to “What to expect when you’re expecting,” Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler’s trailblazing medical text teaches on pregnancy, recovery, nursing & teething. Her treatments include herbal teas, poultices, baths with Epsom salts, goose oil massage, & food as medicine
At age 52, she published A Book of Medical Discourses, believed to be the first medical text written by a Black author.
Black women still represent only 2% of active physicians, and Dr. Corbett has a similar story of success through early inspiration, mentorship and scholarships. Tag here all the current or future Black women doctors you want to uplift today! #blackdoctors
A third of Americans think global warming is a hoax, and over half believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only person involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Here at EBB, we wanted to know: how many people do not believe in systemic racism?
or as a way to “defend” strongly held beliefs (Douglas & Cichocka, 2017). Whatever the reason, it is clear that, like with conspiracy theories, some people are resistant to facts and invested in preserving their beliefs.
To combat this, we need to listen to the self-reporting of Black Americans.
