Newspaper clipping from the Tulsa Daily World published June 7, 1921, and entitled "Doctors Banded For Relief Work; Red Cross Strengthened by the Medical Men of the City." This article reports upon the formation of a committee of Tulsa physicians called the Physicians' Committee of the Board of Public Health. The article lists all physicians involved in the relief work for African Americans following the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Doctors C. D. Johnson and A. W. Wainwright are assigned charge of all medical and surgical cases at the fairgrounds detention camp. All major operating cases are directed to be sent to Morningside Hospital. Other cases requiring hospitalization are to be sent to the Red Cross hospital. The board also recommends that "no attempt be made to rebuild the negro district until a sanitary sewer system has been installed or at least begun, with connections to each building within the corporate limits of the city." |
