Yvette has a conversation with Dr. Fitzroy Dawkins, a medical oncologist and hematologist, about his quest to become more influential in shaping clinical trials in the African American community.  With the sordid history of medical testing in the African American community, there is a significant reluctance by the African American community to participate in clinical trials. Dr. Dawkins reflects on the Tuskegee experiment as one such diabolical example.  For that reason and others, Dr. Dawkins consistently advocates for the training of more Black physicians skilled in the science and art of clinical trials so they can better serve their communities and, along with him, advocate for more clinical trials focused on the cancers that affect the African American community.
