"In the pre-antibiotic days when tuberculosis stirred people's darkest fears, white nurses at Sea View, New York's largest municipal hospital, began quitting en masse. Desperate to avert a public health crisis, city officials summoned Black southern nurses, luring them with promises of good pay, a career, and an escape from the strictures of Jim Crow. But after arriving, they found themselves on an isolated hilltop in the remote borough of Staten Island, yet again confronting racism and consigned to a woefully understaffed sanitorium, dubbed 'the pest house' where it was said that 'no one left alive.' Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this true story follows the intrepid young women known by their patients as the 'Black Angels.' For twenty years, they risked their lives working under appalling conditions while caring for New York's poorest residents, who languished in wards, waiting to die, or became 'guinea pigs' for experimental surgeries and often deadly drugs. But despite their major role in desegregating the New York City hospital system--and their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculosis at Sea View--these nurses were completely erased from history. [This book] recovers the voices of these women and puts them at the center of this story, celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival"--Provided by publisher.
