The Noble Lie

Though Barack Obama and many of his supporters were quick to disown this passionate, fiery-tempered preacher, in many ways this man is more charismatic and more correct than the presidential candidate. I thought his statements were inspiring and was disappointed to see Obama disown them so quickly, especially since they are true.

Here are the books he mentioned; I haven’t read them yet but they’re on my list. I know the gist of the topics both cover.

• Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola: Nature, Accident or Intentional? by Leonard Horowitz
• Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans by Harriet Washington

I would add one more to this list:

• Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison by Allen Hornblum
