DO NO HARM is inspired by three enslaved women - Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy - who are mentioned in “The Father of Gynecology” Dr. James Marion Sims’ autobiography. These young women, who suffered from vesicovaginal fistula, served as “guinea pigs” for the 19th Century physician who performed numerous procedures and surgeries on them with no anesthesia under the racist notion that black people did not feel pain.
