On Black Men in Medicine

"After 40 years, medical schools are admitting fewer Black male or Native American students" By Usha Lee McFarling (https://twitter.com/ushamcfarling) https://www.statnews.com/2021/04/28/medical-schools-admitting-fewer-black-male-or-native-american-students/
AAMC article citing decrease from 1978-2014 of Black male medical students: "Altering The Course: Black Males in Medicine" https://store.aamc.org/altering-the-course-black-males-in-medicine.html
Correction: I mentioned that I had not had a Black male educator in college. This is an error. I had one. Dr. Gilman Whiting, (Associate Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies, Director of the Scholar Identity Institute, Director of Graduate Studies) was the instructor for an elective seminar entitled "Capoeira: Afro-Brazilian Race, Culture, and Expression" from which I learned much.
