Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities & History of Medicine

UNHEALED: A Story of Race, Memory, and a Teaching Hospital, a seven-episode podcast, retells this story and asks why it matters today. Featuring interviews with family, scholars, and community members, it explores how people who considered themselves progressive for their time did not see the workings of racism around them. It’s about the complicated history of Duke and its home community in North Carolina. And most of all, it’s the story of a family that faced unimaginable loss and yet found the will to challenge the system that had failed them.

    Episode 1: What's Past is Present

    The COVID-19 pandemic forced medical schools to reckon with their racial legacies. But what does that really mean? Is it enough to acknowledge the history of medical racism in broad strokes, or blame mistrust on notorious research scandals? Or do medical schools need to take a deeper dive to better understand their local communities? This episode sharpens those questions by focusing on Duke University and Durham—and sets up the context for Maltheus Avery’s story.
