Lewis & Clark's 15th Annual Ray Warren Symposium “Bitter Pills: Race, Health, and Medicine,” was held November 7–9, 2018.

On November 7, Deirdre Cooper Owens, associate professor of history at Queens College, CUNY, gave this keynote presentation titled “How Modern Medicine Was Born of Slavery.”

Presentation description: Cooper Owens explains how the institution of American slavery was directly linked to the creation of reproductive medicine in the U.S. She provides context for how and why physicians denied black women their full humanity, yet valued them as “medical superbodies” highly suited for experimentation. In engaging with 19th-century ideas about so-called racial difference, she sheds light on the contemporary legacy of medical racism.

Welcoming remarks and introductions by Maya Hernández and Jasmine Torres, L&C ’19 and RWS co-chairs.

"Bahr Belá Má", "Waterless Sea", as the Sahara is called by the Bedouins. But deep beneath the dune fields and stone deserts expands an immeasurable reservoir of water resources. Using enormous technical resources, the Libyans have begun to extract fossil reserves of groundwater. Following oil, water is now arousing a new wave of euphoria. In the present desert climate, reserves are only being partally replaced and what has collected over a period of millions of years may be used up in only a few decades.
