Did you know Black men made up 2.7% of physicians in 1940 and 2.6% in 2018? 🩺⚖️ On Episode 336 of Trey’s Table we’re unpacking the racist legacy of the 1910 Flexner Report the "reform" that shut down 5 of 7 Black medical schools and altered healthcare forever.
🔥 3 SHOCKING FACTS YOU’LL LEARN:
1️⃣ Segregation as Science Flexner claimed Black doctors should only learn "hygiene" to "protect white neighbors"—not surgery or advanced medicine .
2️⃣ The Lost Generation Closed schools like Flint Medical College (New Orleans) could’ve trained 30,000+ Black physicians by 2019—enough to nearly eliminate today’s shortage.
3️⃣ Adultification Kills Dreams**: Black kids face harsher discipline and lowered academic expectations by age 10 steering them away from medicine before they even try .
💡 WHY IT MATTERS NOW:
Fewer Black doctors = worse health outcomes for Black communities. Studies show Black patients are 18% more likely to follow preventative care with a Black physician . The Flexner Report didn’t just erase schools—it erased *trust*.
🎧 Listen now (link in bio) to hear how:
▫️ Johns Hopkins became the "model" while HBCU med schools drowned
▫️ Racist pseudoscience still shapes medical education
▫️ We can fight back with policy changes and reparative funding.
