Further History on Lincoln Detox from the acudetox website (NADA official website). Lamia includes this here in part because it captures more of the story than they shared in this video, but also to highlight the painful Anti-Black racism and minimizing of the important role that Black and Puerto Rican people played in the development of this protocol. Honestly, they even spell Mutulu’s name wrong. This erasure of Black lives, the lives of People of colour and the brilliance that comes through revolutionary people and communities stops here.
