Legacy is a memoir by Uché Blackstock, a Black physician who grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up, she and her sister, Oni, were not aware of the deep inequities in the U.S. healthcare system. Only 2% of U.S. physicians are Black women, and they were the first Black mother-daughter legacies from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Blackstock became aware of the systemic barriers Black patients and physicians continue to face, becoming an ER physician and later a professor in academic medicine. Legacy is a call to action against the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, as it serves as a searing indictment of the healthcare system and a generational family memoir.
