Title: Discrimination Against Black Americans In Healthcare
Synopsis: Medical racism in the United States has affected the black community since the Emancipation Proclamation. Though this issue affects a large amount of the American population, it is rarely mentioned in the media, therefore leading to a lack of awareness. This project is my way of advocating for silenced black voices.
