This February, McGill Libraries marked Black History Month (BHM) with an event and displays that honoured Black excellence, scholarship, and storytelling – past and present.

A highlight of the month was the book launch of Genius Unbroken: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Charles R. Drew at the Osler Library of the History of Medicine. Co-authored by cardiovascular surgeon Craig Alan Miller and neuroscientist and civic leader Charlene Drew Jarvis, the book offers the first comprehensive biography of McGill alumnus Dr. Charles R. Drew – the pioneering physician known as the “Father of the Blood Bank.” 📍 Osler Library of the History of Medicine

If you haven’t yet had a chance to see Medicine and Charity at the des Hospitalières de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, it may be a good time to visit.

We’re pleased that our book is part of the exhibition, which explores the history of Hôtel-Dieu hospitals in France and Quebec.
