Honor or cultural appropriation? Hospital name spurs debate

Retired nurses, from left, Jobyna Foster, Yvonne Jones and Zenobia Thompson pose with a rendering of the former Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis at Jones’ home on Aug. 9, 2022. All three trained and worked at the 660-bed hospital, which served Black residents of St. Louis until it closed in 1979. They are part of a lawsuit aimed at stopping a new three-bed hospital from using the Homer G. Phillips name. (AP Photo/Jim Salter)
