Without Concealment, Without Compromise is a collective biography of fourteen Black Civil War surgeons and the experiences that shaped their lives and the country.

​

Their stories are told through the themes of justice and freedom, patriotism and pride, and the individual as a force for change.

 

The ambitions and desires of these men were not deterred by society's prejudicial dictates. Through their dignified acts of resistance and their pioneering pathways, they challenged the status quo and became symbols of an emancipated future.
