African American Registered Nurses in Seattle
The struggle for opportunity and success
Lois Price Spratlen's book, African American Registered Nurses in Seattle, describes the experiences of 26 black nurses who lived in Seattle during the 1940s and '50s, and their struggles with racial segregation and intolerance as they studied and worked in Seattle universities and hospitals.
Thirteen women from the book formed the Mary Mahoney Professional Nurses Organization, designed to support diversity and black students. All proceeds from the book go to the Mary Mahoney Professional Nurses Endowment.
