el barrio fino Dr. J. Marion Sims: A dishonor to women in East Harlem

In February 2017 East Harlem Preservation held an in-studio discussion at Manhattan Neighborhood Network's El Barrio Firehouse Community Media Center about ongoing efforts to remove the controversial statue of Dr. J. Marion Sims from its Fifth Avenue location. In addition to examining the presumed accomplishments of Dr. Sims, who experimented on enslaved Black women without anesthesia or informed consent, participants discussed the civil and reproductive rights of women of color. Guests included:

Diane Collier, Chair of Community Board 11;

Lynn Roberts, PhD, Assistant Professor at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy; and

Harriet A. Washington, author of "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" (2007)

The program originally aired on Manhattan Neighborhood Network throughout February 2017 as part of their Black History Month programming.

Background

In 2007, East Harlem Preservation began a campaign calling for the removal of the statue in solidarity with community activist Viola Plummer after the publication of Harriet Washington's book, "Medical Apartheid," which detailed Sim's cruel experiments. We maintain that the statue's presence does a huge disservice to the neighborhood’s majority Black and Latino residents - groups that have historically been subjected to medical experiments without permission or regard for their well-being.
