Yet, the systematic oppression of Black people in America i

We are living through a time of dichotomies. What's good for you & your family is not necessarily what's good for me & mine. Clearly this is true for Michael Brown, his family and officer Darren Wilson.

As a Divine spirit living a human existence as an African-American mother, I do not know how to talk to my sons about their rights as African-American males in these United States. It is unfortunate that my sons, who have been educated and raised in American schools, and lived a middle class life,

I've come to be known as the first Ebola patient to be treated in the United States -- but I'd prefer to think of myself simply as a family physician.

I was born and raised in Indiana, and trained in family medicine in Texas. I spent the last year living and working as a missionary doctor in a small hospital outside Monrovia, Liberia. So when the Ebola virus came to that country, I was among the first to treat infected patients. And in late July, I contracted the disease.
