SOLVED. Black Dr does housecalls & gets discrimination. [s]

[Ghost]

The book is about a Black dr who makes housecalls. He runs into a group that make racist comments. I think the book title has the word Rose in it.

Fiction? Nonfiction? When did you read it? What time period is the setting? What country/region?

[Ghost]

Read about 10 years ago. Setting in US. Period maybe 60s. Can't remember fiction or none.

[Tab]

Under the Knife: How a Wealthy Negro Surgeon Wielded Power in the Jim Crow South ?

Do you remember the cover?

[Ghost]

Thx but not it.

Don't remember cover. Leaning towards it being non-fiction.

[Kris]

[Ayshe]

Red on a Rose seems to be it, from the Kirkus review:
"...each Saturday Jack and Lila make house calls to Baltimore’s poor and elderly black community. On one such day, when they stop at a convenience store for a bottle of Jack’s beloved Coca-Cola, three white men out front hurl racial epitaphs."

Oh my goodness! You got it! I recognized the story line as soon as I read it and the cover when I saw it. I've been trying to remember this title for years! Thanks Ayshe!

You're welcome!
