EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a young Black nurse stands proudly in the grounds of Nottingham's Women's Hospital during the 1960s. The nurse, dressed in her crisp uniform and white cap, leans casually against a decorative wall adorned with intricate patterns and slabs, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The lower ground of the hospital grounds, where the photograph was taken, is lush and green, with trees in full bloom and colorful flowers adding a splash of vibrancy to the surroundings. The 1960s was a pivotal decade for racial equality and the nursing profession, as it saw the first significant increase in the number of Black nurses in the United Kingdom. This image captures the determination and resilience of this young nurse, who defied the odds and pursued her dream of becoming a nurse despite facing discrimination and prejudice. Her presence in this prestigious hospital was a powerful statement of her commitment to her patients and her profession. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of Black nurses during this era, and the important role they played in advancing racial equality in healthcare. It also highlights the beauty and tranquility of the hospital grounds, which provided a peaceful sanctuary for patients and staff alike. Overall, this photograph is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder of the progress that has been made in the fight for racial equality in healthcare and beyond.
