Author Conversation with Jill Newmark
Join the Clements Bookworm as Jill Newmark discusses her book, Without Concealment, Without Compromise: The Courageous Lives of Black Civil War Surgeons.

Newmark’s outstanding research uncovers stories hidden for more than 150 years, illuminating the unique experiences of proud, patriotic men who fought racism and discrimination to attend medical school and serve with the U.S. military. Their efforts and actions influenced societal change and forged new pathways for African Americans.
