Abstract:

This article narrates interviews given by three African-American physicians from North Carolina who received their MDs between 1948 and 1957 before returning to North Carolina to practice medicine. All three doctors expressed not only the hardships they faced in attaining their degrees but also the racial discrimination they experienced while establishing medical practices within North Carolina.
