| Description: |
Dr. Lamothe grew up in Louisiana and attended Howard University Medical School in Washington, D.C. He speaks about discrimination in school, the military during the Korean War, and being an intern in a racially segregated, "Negroes-only" hospital in St. Louis. He moved to Marshall, Texas, after the war and served as a general practitioner for the black families. He relates stories about the discriminating practices of the "all-white" hospital administration and the Texas State Medical Association. Marshall's early civil rights leaders and the community's attempts to boycott and force change within the legal system are presented.
