Narrative
The Flying Black Medics were begun in 1970 by a group of black medical practitioners who flew from Chicago to Cairo, Illinois to bring healthcare and health education to residents of the remote community. One of the participants, Dr. Leonidas Harris Berry, was also an active member of the civil group, United Front, an organization that provided protection, monetary support, and other assistance to the people in Cairo, Illinois who were the victims of racist attacks.
