Journal Article
The Hill-Burton Act and Civil Rights: Expanding Hospital Care for Black Southerners, 1939-1960
2006
Overview
Thomas posits a \"long civil rights movement\" in health care by surveying and elaborating on the historiography of Hill-Burton in the South and considering multiple factors that contributed to the expansion of hospital care for blacks and whites, particularly in underserved rural areas. She focuses mainly on the fifteen-year period from 1939, when hospital construction was first debated in Congress as part of proposals to establish a national health plan, to 1954, when the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka declared segregation unconstitutional and inherently unequal in public elementary and secondary education.
