520    An investigation into how racial inequality has shaped the
       heart transplant race describes how in 1968 an injured 
       black man checked into a hospital before his heart was 
       removed and donated without his family's knowledge or 
       consent. 
520    In 1968 Bruce Tucker, a black man, went into Virginia's 
       top research hospital with a head injury that would prove 
       fatal. His heart was taken out of his body and put into 
       the chest of a white businessman-- without permission of 
       Tucker's family. Jones exposes the horrifying inequality 
       surrounding Tucker's death. The circumstances surrounding 
       his death reflect the long legacy of mistreating African 
       Americans that began more than a century before with 
       cadaver harvesting-- and  culminated in efforts to win the
       heart transplant race in the late 1960s. -- adapted from
