Diagnosing Inequality Episode Four -- History Lessons -- Drs. Howard Erickson and Keith Hollingsworth

Historians draw lines that link the past struggles of Black Americans to current racial disparities -- including in veterinary medicine. Go back to school with two college professors who teach lessons from that history.

Join Howard Erickson, DVM, Ph.D., as he shares the personal stories of the first Black vets in the US. Then, listen as Keith Hollingsworth, Ph.D., puts those stories into broader context and connects them with inequities that continue today.

Dr. Erickson is a vet med historian and professor emeritus at Kansas State University, and Dr. Hollingsworth teaches about the history of Black-owned businesses at the HBCU Morehouse College in Atlanta.
