1996réf. #2229-22019One Blood traces both the life of the famous black surgeon and blood plasma pioneer Dr. Charles Drew and the well-known legend about his death. On April 1 1950 Drew died after an auto accident in rural North Carolina. Within hours rumors spread: the man who helped create the first American Red Cross blood bank had bled to death because a whites-only hospital refused to treat him. Drew was in fact treated in the emergency room of the small segregated Alamance General Hospital. Two white surgeons worked hard to save him but he died after about an hour. In her compelling chronicle of Drew's life and death Spencie Love shows that in a generic sense the Drew legend is true: throughout the segregated era African Americans were turned away at hospital doors either because the hospitals were whites-only or because the 'black beds' were full. Love describes the fate of a young black World War II veteran who died after being turned away from Duke Hospital following an auto accident that occurred in the same year and the same county as Drew's. African Americans are shown to have figuratively 'bled to death' at white hands from the time they were first brought to this country as slaves. By preserving their own stories Love says they have proven the enduring value of oral history. Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments. Oversize and/or heavy books may require additional fees.

From Wikipedia abridged: "Iris Cornelia Love August 1 1933 – April 17 2020 was an American classical archaeologist best known for the rediscovery of the Temple of Aphrodite in Knidos. . Love spent her junior year abroad at the University of Florence and then wrote her senior thesis on the Etruscan warrior figures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art which she identified as fakes on the basis of comparison with figures at the National Archaeological Museum in Florence.2 In 1960 she met with the Director of the Metropolitan James Rorimer a family friend to advise him of her forthcoming paper in a New York University journal exposing the figures as not genuine but the museum announced the forgeries to The New York Times the day before its publication without acknowledging her research.14Alfredo Fioravanti confirmed that he had created the Metropolitan's figures.2.After first visiting Knidos with Turkish archaeologist Aşkıdil Akarca2 she conducted annual excavations there from 1967. In 1969 her mostly female team discovered a foundation that Love believed to be the remains of the Temple of Aphrodite;148 this was confirmed by inscriptions found the following year.9 After Love presented her results at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America it excited international attention and visits to the excavation site by many famous guests.Love was voted one of the "ten legendary women of the world" in 1980 for her archaeological career received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from Marymount Manhattan College16 and was the first American to be made a Fellow of the Institute of the History and Archaeology of the Magna Grecia in Naples.11" Book will be priority mailed to any domestic address.
