On this edition of In Black America, producer and host John L. Hanson Jr. speaks with Dr. Brian H. Williams, a trauma surgeon, professor, and author of The Bodies Keep Coming: Dispatches from a Black Trauma Surgeon on Racism, Violence, and How We Heal.
In July 2016, Dr. Williams led a team at Parkland Hospital that responded to the shooting of several police officers who were ambushed by a gunman downtown as a protest was nearing its end. Dr. Williams talks about gun violence, health inequities, racism, attending the Air Force Academy, becoming a trauma surgeon and why he wrote this book.
