| Abstract | "Dr. Brian H. Williams has seen it all, from gunshot wounds to traumatic brain injuries. In The Bodies Keep Coming, Williams ushers us into the trauma bay, where the wounds of a national emergency amass. Black bodies will continue to be wracked by violence, racism, and healthcare inequities until we enact changes of policy and law"-- Provided by publisher. |
