Lumumba’s Africa | Medical experimentation on African slaves
from RT on Odysee · host RT
In this sobering episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor P.L.O. Lumumba examines one of the most dehumanizing chapters in the history of transatlantic slavery: the use of enslaved Africans as subjects for medical experimentation. The professor dissects the unethical practices of physicians like J. Marion Sims, often glorified as the “father of modern gynecology,” who performed brutal, anesthetic-free surgeries on black women. Tune in for a critical analysis of how this medical exploitation laid the ethical groundwork for centuries of healthcare disparities.
