Thank you! He was my maternal grandfather! Loved and missed!
I was a blue baby when I was born and I had surgery and continue to be monitored
I’m happy to be alive today and healthy !!
Hey he’s part of the reason why I’m alive today then!
Thank you ❤so much for the education and support
Yes! Brilliant man! I initially learned of him from the movie “Something the Lord Made” where he was portrayed by Mos Def. Definitely worth watching. 👍🏽
Great movie! Mos Def was brilliant in the role.
@@dianasims4379 yes, he sure was! 🫶🏽
Mos Def played him in a movie 20 years ago. I'm sure it's not 100% accurate but it's an awesome film
Thank you for all of this teaching! ❤
😮😍😍woow
There is a wonderful 2004 movie called "Something the Lord Made," about him. I highly recommend it.
There are a lot of holes in your presentation. His story starts at Vanderbilt and he taught white doctors as well. Starting with Dr. Blalock.
