Charlottesville Tribune article by TJ Sellers describing the unequal conditions of the Black public wards at UVA Hospital, noting that Black patients are still required to pay the same rates as white patients. Sellers writes that any Charlottesville resident could "walk through the various wards of the University Hospital and note the glaring differences in the physical condition" of the Black and white public and private wards. He also explains that Black patients do not "receive the same professional courtesy accorded to white patients," with hospital staff addressing Black patients only by their first names, rather than using the "courtesy title" used for white patients.
