Partners of the Heart
This companion to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) "American Experience" program of the same title describes the collaboration between Alfred Blalock, a white surgeon, and Vivien Thomas, an African American with a high school education, in the 1944 creation of a heart surgery procedure that would save the lives of thousands of "blue babies." Includes a transcript; information about topics including "race relations, civil rights, segregation, [and] medical advances"; and a resource guide for teachers.
