    Thank you to @TBAlliance @WaiteRobyn for hosting @MariaSmilios to share the story of #TheBlackAngels, the incredible #nurses who assisted in one of the first clinical trials of #isoniazid in humans and helped cure #tuberculosis among patients at #SeaviewHospital in #NYC. #EndTB

    While others fled, the Black Angels stepped up. 🖤These #nurses saved lives & helped cure TB with the 1952 drug trials. You may remember their story from our Book Club last year. Honor their heroism & learn more about their legacy. 🩺#BlackHistoryMonth ow.ly/ybM450V0KCs
