TY - GEN T1 - Sick and tired of being sick and tired : Black women's health activism in America, 1890-1950 T2 - Studies in health, illness, and caregiving. A1 - Smith, Susan Lynn, 1960- LA - English PP - Philadelphia PB - University of Pennsylvania Press YR - 1995 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm44956069 AB - Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired moves beyond the depiction of African Americans as mere recipients of aid or as victims of neglect and highlights the ways black health activists created public health programs and influenced public policy at every opportunity. Smith also sheds new light on the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment by situating it within the context of black public health activity, reminding us that public health work had oppressive as well as progressive consequences.
