Nursing History Forum Hafeeza Anchrum, PhD, RN Nov. 1, 2022 at 12 p.m. (ET) Presented by the Bjoring Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry Zoom link: https://virginia.zoom.us/j/96305960258?pwd=QVlmcEJweGtJQVpvK0JyWXQ5QXMwQT09 Meeting ID: 963 0596 0258 Passcode: 626079 Dr. Hafeeza Anchrum uses archival materials and interviews with Black nurses who graduated from Mercy-Douglass Hospital School of Nursing to examine Black nurses’ silent struggle to integrate hospital nursing in the North from 1950 to 1970. The sources reveal that they had to battle to gain access to hospitals with all-white nursing staff and fight for equal treatment once they gained entry to these spaces. This research broadens our understanding of the civil rights revolution beyond the popularized events and political figures of the South to a lesser-known battleground for racial inclusion and equality-the Northern hospital-and to lesser-known actors: Black registered nurses.
