✊🏾Black history moment ✊🏾: My ancestor was Dr. Lawrence W. Long and he was a local doctor in Union, SC who ensured other Black people had a place to get seen/treated for ailments due to the segregation in the South. We are the harvest. Shoutout to my cousins for sharing this info!! Posted @withregram • @exploresouthcarolina The Union Community Hospital was started by Dr. Lawrence W. Long, an African-American doctor, and served African-American patients during segregation. The hospital provided services to the African-American community of Union County for 43 years (from 1932 to 1975). Built as a house ca. 1915, it was converted into a hospital by Dr. L. W. Long in 1932 with the support of several local churches. #unionsc #oldhospital #africanamericanhistory #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #nrhp #flashbackfriday #myancestor #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #iamblackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CaQhO5kPovr/?utm_medium=tumblr
