520    "The true story of the black doctors and nurses who tended
       to Civil War soldiers in the capital. Just as African 
       Americans fought in defense of the Union during the Civil 
       War, African American nurses, doctors, and surgeons worked
       to heal those soldiers. In the nation's capital, these 
       brave healthcare workers created a medical infrastructure 
       for African Americans, by African Americans. Preeminent 
       surgeon Alexander T. Augusta fought discrimination, 
       visited President Lincoln, testified before Congress, and 
       aided the war effort. Washington's Freedmen's Hospital was
       formed to serve the District's growing free African 
       American population, eventually becoming the Howard 
       University Medical Center. These physicians would form the
       National Medical Association, the largest and oldest 
       organization representing African American doctors and 
       patients. This book recounts the heroic lives and work of 
       Washington's African American medical community during the
       Civil War."--|cProvided by Freading.
