“A lot of medical schools, during the history of slavery, largely depended on cadavers of enslaved people. That’s who they practiced on … Black women’s bodies were used in experiments to advance medicine, like the field of gynecology. We learn about ‘from cradle to grave’ in history, but what about postmortem? What happened to Black people postmortem? It’s like their bodies are constantly being exploited at every age, even in their death.”
