You can t be what you can t see: MU doctor advocates for more Black men in white coats

COLUMBIA — Texas doctor and University of Missouri School of Medicine graduate Dr. Dale Okorodudu, is leading a movement to get more Black men in the medical field. It s easier to visualize a Black man in an orange jumpsuit than it is in a white coat because of the way we re represented in the media, the doctor said. Often times you put on TV and a Black man is always depicted as a hip-hop artist or a prisoner or an athlete. Well, the truth of the matter is more than 95% of us are doing something other than that. A new documentary, Black Men in White Coats, aims to empower aspiring Black doctors. It will also focus on uplifting Black men and women in other professional careers.
