The AMA effectively barred African-American physicians from its membership until 1964, and news was made this month when the AMA issued an apology for its part in allowing professional segregation. When I graduated from medical school in 1978 (fourteen years after African-American physicians were “blessed” by the AMA), my African-American family physician gave me the gift of a paid membership to the National Medical Association. The National Medical Association is the professional organization of African-American physicians. If fourteen years wasn’t time enough to heal the hard feelings of intentional exclusion, will an apology forty-four years later be any more conciliatory?
