American sirens : the incredible story of the Black men who became America's first paramedics
Hazzard, Kevin, 1977-2024
Books
Until the 1970s, if you suffered a medical crisis, your chances of survival were minimal. A 911 call might bring police or even the local funeral home. But that all changed with Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh, a group of Black men who became America's first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world, only to have their story and their legacy erased - until now. In 'American Sirens', acclaimed journalist and paramedic Kevin Hazzard tells the dramatic story of how a group of young, undereducated Black men forged a new frontier of healthcare.
