The Negro Project: Ep. 5: Health, History, and Hidden Agendas

Host Connie Morris examines the 1939 "Negro Project," placing it in historical context—rural Southern healthcare, maternal mortality, and the push for birth control education and clinics.

The episode explains the plan to involve Black physicians, ministers, and community leaders, and explores the ongoing debate over whether the project was a public health effort or influenced by eugenic ideas.

Connie reflects on justice, faith, and trust in the medical system and previews a follow-up episode on the socioeconomic conditions that shaped Black communities in the early 20th century.
