Harriet A. Washington is an award-winning medical writer and editor and the author of 'Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present.' She is also the author of 'A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and its Assault on the American Mind.' In her work, Harriet focuses mainly on bioethics, the history of medicine, African-American health issues, and the intersection of medicine, ethics, and culture.

In part 2 of our conversation, Harriet sheds light on what the medical-industrial-complex is and how it's been crossing the lines in finding things to profit off of; how public health threats to people of color really should practically concern everybody in society; and more.
