- Summary
-
- An investigation into how racial inequality has shaped the heart transplant race describes how in 1968 an injured black man checked into a hospital before his heart was removed and donated without his family's knowledge or consent
- In 1968 Bruce Tucker, a black man, went into Virginia's top research hospital with a head injury that would prove fatal. His heart was taken out of his body and put into the chest of a white businessman-- without permission of Tucker's family. Jones exposes the horrifying inequality surrounding Tucker's death. The circumstances surrounding his death reflect the long legacy of mistreating African Americans that began more than a century before with cadaver harvesting-- and culminated in efforts to win the heart transplant race in the late 1960s. -- adapted from jacket
