Untold thousands of black North Carolinians suffered or died during the Jim Crow era because they were denied admittance to white-only hospitals. With little money, scant opportunities for professional education and few white allies, African American physicians, nurses and other community leaders created their own hospitals, schools of nursing and public health outreach efforts. The author chronicles the important but largely unknown histories of more than 35 hospitals, the Leonard Medical School and 11 hospital-based schools of nursing established in North Carolina, and recounts the decades-long struggle for equal access to care and equal opportunities for African American health care professionals.

Few career opportunities were available to minority women in Appalachia in the first half of the 20th century. Nursing offered them a respected, relatively well paid profession and--as few physicians or hospitals would treat people of color--their work was important in challenging health care inequities in the region. Working in both modern surgical suites and tumble-down cabins, these women created unprecedented networks of care, managed nursing schools and built professional nursing organizations while navigating discrimination in the workplace. Focusing on the careers and contributions of dozens of African American and Eastern Band Cherokee registered nurses, this first comprehensive study of minority nurses in Appalachia documents the quality of health care for minorities in the region during the Jim Crow era. Racial segregation in health care and education and state and federal policies affecting health care for Native Americans are examined in depth.

During its 1874-1875 session, the North Carolina General Assembly founded two new public asylums to address overcrowding in its only mental health care facility in Raleigh (Dorothea Dix Hospital). The first, in Morganton (Broughton Hospital), was intended to serve the white citizens of the state in addition to the Raleigh hospital. The second new facility in Goldsboro (Cherry Hospital) was intended to serve all the African American mentally ill of the state. This thesis explores the creation of this asylum system from the opening of the Raleigh facility in 1856 to the deaths of superintendents Patrick Murphy (Morganton), and J. F. Miller (Goldsboro). It examines the contradictions in the founding and running of the Goldsboro asylum. North Carolina differed from southern states such as South Carolina by creating a separate facility for African Americans, as had been pioneered by Virginia and Tennessee. This thesis argues that while the North Carolina General Assembly passed the act that founded the asylum, the lack of support and funding they provided prevented the asylum's ability to offer the same quality of care its white counterparts could provide to theirs. The General Assembly prioritized the all-white Morganton and Raleigh asylums over its only African American mental health care facility from its beginnings because of the race and the triumph of Jim Crow.

This two-volume set is a thematically-arranged encyclopedia covering the social, political, and material culture of America during the Jim Crow Era. What was daily life really like for ordinary African American people in Jim Crow America, the hundred-year period of enforced legal segregation that began immediately after the Civil War and continued until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965? What did they eat, wear, believe, and think? How did they raise their children? How did they interact with government? What did they value? What did they do for fun? This Daily Life encyclopedia explores the lives of average people through the examination of social, cultural, and material history. Supported by the most current research, the multivolume set examines social history topics—including family, political, religious, and economic life—as it illuminates elements of a society's emotional life, interactions, opinions, views, beliefs, intimate relationships, and connections between individuals and the greater world. It is broken up into topical sections, each dealing with a different aspect of cultural life. Each section opens with an introductory essay, followed by A–Z entries on various aspects of that topic.

Excerpt from An Assessment of Health Service Needs for the African-American Community in North Carolina This assessment provides a preliminary description of some of the health care needs and the barriers to health services for African Americans in North Carolina. Recommendations are given for improving access to health services for African Americans. In addition, this project included the development of components for a self-help initiative to be implemented through the North Carolina National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (naacp). The survey instruments assessed: 1) methods employed in reaching African Americans; 2) health service areas of perceived need for African Americans; and 3) strategies for addressing the health needs of African Americans. All interviews were done by telephone. Those surveyed were naacp members, who represented the african-american community, and health educators in local health departments, who represented the providers. A stratified random sample of 30 counties was drawn from North Carolina counties having 800 or more african-american residents. There were five strata, which were based on census data for percentages of african-american residents. Frequencies and percentages of responses were computed for individual variables. Comparisons were made between the responses of the naacp members and the health department representatives on strategies to serve African Americans. Thirty local health departments and 24 naacp branches were included in the assessment. There was limited availability of culturally appropriate services, and there was much perceived need for help with this issue. Most of the health departments and most of the naacp representatives felt more help was needed with transportation for the african-american community. Regarding evening and weekend hours, half of the health departments expressed a need for help in this area to better serve African Americans, while two-thirds of the naacp representatives did. The location of the health department's services was another area in need of improvement as identified by the majority of respondents. In addition, there were few partnerships focused on serving African Americans, and much perceived need for help in this area.

Lincoln Hospital opened in Durham in 1901 to serve the community's African Americans as a center for patient care and medical education. With the onset of the Civil Rights Movement, however, Lincoln's competition increased, and it closed in 1976. Still, the hospital is remembered today through the Lincoln Community Health Center and in the hearts and minds of those who contributed to its history.

Like the majority of the founders of large philanthropic foundations in the United States, James B. Duke assumed that the Duke Endowment, which he established in 1924, would continue its charitable activity forever. Lasting Legacy to the Carolinas is an examination of the history of this foundation and the ways in which it has--and has not--followed Duke's original design. In this volume, Robert F. Durden explores how the propriety of linking together a tax-free foundation and an investor-owned, profit-seeking business like the Duke Power Company has significantly changed over the course of the century. Explaining the implications of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 for J. B. Duke's dream, Durden shows how the philanthropist's plan to have the Duke Endowment virtually own and ultimately control Duke Power (which, in turn, would supply most of the Endowment's income) dissolved after the death of daughter Doris Duke in 1993, when the trustees of the Endowment finally had the unanimous votes needed to sever that tie. Although the Endowment's philanthropic projects--higher education (including Duke University), hospitals and health care, orphan and child care in both North and South Carolina, and the rural Methodist church in North Carolina--continue to be served, this study explains the impact of a century of political and social change on one man's innovative charitable intentions. It is also a testimony to the many staff members and trustees who have invested their own time and creative energies into further benefiting these causes, despite decades of inevitable challenges to the Endowment. This third volume of Durden's trilogy relating to the Dukes of Durham will inform not only those interested in the continuing legacy of this remarkable family but also those involved with philanthropic boards, charitable endowments, medical care, child-care institutions, the rural church, and higher education.

This study adds to the small but growing literature on Black health history--the rise of hospital care and hospital services provided to Blacks from the antebellum era to the integration era, a period of some 150 years. The work examines the political, policy, legal, and philanthropic forces that helped to define the rise, development, and decline of Black hospitals in the United States. Particular discussion is given to the federal Hill-Burton Act of 1946 and the extent to which the legislation impacted Black hospital development. The roles of the Freedman's Bureau, National Medical Association, National Hospital Association, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in the development of Black hospitals is highlighted.
