Publisher's Synopsis

Often afflicting an entire family or large segments of a neighbourhood, the plague of TB was as mysterious as it was fatal. Samuel Kelton Roberts Jr. examines how individuals and institutions - black and white, public and private - responded to the challenges of tuberculosis in a segregated society.
