Antonia Hylton

“In response, a community of Black residents working with the NAACP and the families of patients started to raise alarms. Their volunteer efforts, and the letters and notes they wrote, were crucial not only to the future of patient care, but to correcting a whitewashed record of the hospital’s operations. Black church groups and women’s clubs were among the first to come and visit Crownsville’s patients.”
