Its admission books still exist today, painting a picture of the lives of enslaved Black people, who make up 50% of the infirmary's patients. Page after page lists the impact of unsanitary conditions and dietary deprivation. Doctors are charged with "rehabilitating" enslaved people to increase the profits of "slave traders" and holders.
