Sickle Cell Anemia Program
|
The Party's Sickle Cell Anemia Research Foundation was one of the nation's first sickle cell testing programs. This inspired the federal government's initial funding of sickle cell research. 98% of victims of the Sickle-Cell disease were Black. They wanted to provide knowledge to Blacks so they would be able to care for themselves. They believed that the greatest power was KNOWLEDGE. The Federal Government later establihsed trhis program as a government funded effort.
