i enjoyed listening to this, but must confess to having a lump in my throat when I read about the treatment - or lack of it - at that hospital.I only hope that God has forgiven those responsible.

you gave me my first laugh of the day. I was trying to get my mind set to deal with this certain coworker, then I read this. You made my day.

Sep 26 1937 The Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith, sustains grave injuries in a traffic accident on US Highway 61. She is taken to a colored hospital in Clarksdale, Mississippi and her arm amputated. Smith dies later that day from blood loss. According to legend, Bessie had been refused treatment by a closer, whites-only hospital.
