Host Vanessa Tyler talks about the history of the Crownsville Hospital Center - formerly known as the Hospital For The Negro Insane of Maryland. In 1911, this segregated facility was constructed to treat the mentally ill, but patients were often subjected to medical experimentation, abuse and neglect. Vanessa speaks to Janice Hayes Williams about her mission to create a permanent memorial dedicated to those that died at Crownsville, and were buried in unnamed graves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
