Summary	"When the Tuskegee Veteran's Hospital opened in 1923, many in the Veteran's Bureau believed black physicians and nurses were not competent to staff the facility. With the exception of nurses' aides, orderlies, attendants and laborers, hospital personnel would be white. This history of the hospital reflects the struggle for racial equality in the U.S"-- Provided by publisher
