Hydraulic fluid/The Color of Love

Patients who were exposed to surgical tools coated with hydraulic fluid are considering lawsuits against the Duke University Health System. Host Melinda Penkava talks with Robert Adler, professor of management and legal studies at UNC-Chapel Hill.

In 1963, 12-year old Gene Cheek was literally torn from his mother’s arms at the Forsyth County Courthouse in Winston Salem, never to be returned home. The crime? His white mother had just given birth to a baby whose father was black. Host Melinda Penkava talks with author Gene Cheek about his memoir, “The Color of Love: A Mother’s Choice in the Jim Crow South” (Lyons Press/2005) and the anti-miscegenation laws that changed his life forever.
