Damon Tweedy, MD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and Jeffrey Baker, MD, PhD, professor of pediatrics and history, on November 15 delivered the Trent Humanities in Medicine Lecture about a largely forgotten incident at Duke that drew national scrutiny and attention to the issue of segregated medical care in the 1950s.  In “Remembering Maltheus Avery: Race, Medicine, and Duke Hospital in the Jim Crow Era,” Tweedy and Baker shared their research on the Avery case and discussed why it mattered in its day and why it remains important today.
