 . In Jonathan Metzl’s book he uses a range of primary sources such as oral histories. Metzl utilizes the oral histories of two former employees of Ionia Hospital for the Criminal Insane in chapters 5 and 9. Are the accounts given by the employees in reference to Alice Wison and Octavious Greene respectively? If so, how did Jonathan Metzl confirm this?
 . Again, in regards to Jonathan Metzl's primary sources, How did Metzl know that Alice Wilson’s car and Octavious Greene’s car passed each other on the drive away from and toward Ionia Hospital?

+. In chapter four, there are several debates discussed around the idea that there was biological evidence that supported the need to keep African Americans in bondage and that it was good for their mental health. Why was this perception a thing? We've learned that there were mentally ill slaves in the past, so why was there an assumption that emancipation caused African Americans to go crazy?
+. The shift in perception of schizophrenia between docile, white women to angry, African Americans is interesting since they both are rebelling against social norms- the patriarchy and racist oppression. Is that the case for other types of mental disorders? To medicalize their symptoms in an effort to control select groups of people?

+. "Hello, I'll take things that Things I Sadly Expect out of U.S. History for 800, Alex." Why do you think the medical community chose schizophrenia as the disease they would willfully misdiagnose black men? Do you think they found it particularly emasculating or disqualifying?
+. Do you think Metzel uses enough sourcing as a historian to convince readers of his claims of purposeful misdiagnosis among the African-American community? Is his choice to focus exclusively on case studies (i.e., Ionia State Hospital and a few patients) "enough?"
