Book examines history of racism faced by American Black Physicians; 2026 Oglethorpe University Graduate

Award‑winning investigative journalist Nicole Carr — now a professor at Morehouse College — discusses her debut book, The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in a Segregated Nation, traces the history of Black physicians in America, the racism they endured, and how those barriers continue to influence today’s shortage of Black medical providers and the resulting health inequities.   For "Closer Look's” annual graduation series, we hear from  Maria Isabel Moraes Lanzelotti. The 2026 graduating senior, who majored in theatre and politics at Oglethorpe University, talks about her road to graduation and why she firmly believes art is political. She also shares details about how she plans to be a change agent in the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
