The Preston Smith Library in Lubbock is pleased to host a traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine:
Binding Wounds, Pushing Boundaries: African Americans in Civil War Medicine
Many histories have been written about medical care during the American Civil War, but the participation and contributions of African Americans as nurses, surgeons and hospital workers have often been overlooked. This NLM traveling exhibit looks at the men and women who served as surgeons and nurses and how their work as medical providers challenged the prescribed notions of race and gender.
Please visit the exhibit located on the 2nd Floor of the Preston Smith Library from July 26-August 23, 2019.
