Omg. The pain that Charles experienced with no medication while also being enslaved and expected to work with starvation level nutritiob must have been unbearable.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding.
