A hematology-related book suggestion, with some context. Back in 2014, I heard #LawrenceHill speaking on the radio one morning on my way to clinic, about his @CBC #MasseyLectures @UofT on blood's rich symbolism. Mr. Hill grew up as the child of "mixed race" parents in Toronto./1 
His parents met in Washington, DC, and moved to Canada in 1955 because at the time it was illegal for them to be married in the Commonwealth of Virginia - prior to the Supreme Court decision on Loving v Virginia in 1967 (real couple below R), the topic of 2016's @lovingthefilm./2
I was Education Program co-chair in 2015 for the @ASH_hematology annual meeting, and I thought: wouldn't it be great if the meeting included a "humanities" talk, by someone like Mr. Hill? So I proposed that to the Executive Committee & they were excited./3 ashondemand.org/Session/107191…
