Requests:  0 Summary:  An investigation into how racial inequality has shaped the heart transplant race describes how in 1968 an injured black man checked into a hospital before his heart was removed and donated without his family's knowledge or consent. In 1968, Bruce Tucker, a black man, went into Virginia's top research hospital with a head injury that would prove fatal. His heart was taken out of his body and put into the chest of a white businessman-- without permission of Tucker's family. Jones exposes the horrifying inequality surrounding Tucker's death. The circumstances surrounding his death reflect the long legacy of mistreating African Americans that began more than a century before with cadaver harvesting-- and culminated in efforts to win the heart transplant race in the late 1960s. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.10899 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.10899 Jones Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.10899 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.10899 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.10899 Jo Lost 05/08/2023 Add Copy to MyList
