Nurse Ora Bouie and a doctor at Tufts-Delta Health Clinic, Mound Bayou, Mississippi, 1968
Derby says: ‘In 1965, the TDHC was established in the all-black town of Mound Bayou.
Medical facilities were segregated, so black people received very inferior medical treatment, if any.
Many died waiting for service.
Led by Dr Jack Geiger, doctors applied for and received a large government grant in the mid-1960s to expand the Mound Bayou facilities.
They hired more black physicians and nurses and provided home care.
They established classes for adults in math, literacy, handcrafts and nutrition.’
