Award-winning historian Dittmer gives an insightful and inspiring account of a group of courageous doctors and nurses who fought the battle for racial justice in hospitals, clinics, and on the streets in the 1960s. Traces the story of the courageous doctors and nurses who fought pre-civil rights racial inequality through their services in hospitals, clinics, and on the streets, recounting how period medical professionals left their lives and private practices to march alongside and tend the wounds of demonstrators during the March on Selma, the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and other landmark episodes.
