Power to Heal: Medicare and the Civil Rights Revolution

Thursday, July 23 at 8 pm on KPJK TV in the South Bay. An hour-long documentary chronicling the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that racially desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country, all in a matter of months in 1966.
