New York City, 1929. A sanatorium, a deadly disease, and a dire nursing shortage.
So begins the story of the Black Angels, a cadre of Black nurses called up to avert a public health crisis at Sea View Hospital, New York City's largest municipal TB sanatorium perched on an isolated hilltop where it was said "no one left alive."
Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this remarkable true story follows the intrepid young women known by their patients as the “Black Angels.”
For twenty years, they risked their lives working under appalling conditions while caring for New York’s poorest residents, who languished in wards, waiting to die, or became guinea pigs for experimental surgeries and often deadly drugs. But despite their major role in desegregating the New York City hospital system—and their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculosis in what one journalist said was the "most grandiose human experiment in medical history"—these nurses were completely erased from history. The Black Angels recovers the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of this riveting story, celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival.
