HUNTINGTON Dr. Omayma Touma was the driving force behind her husbands medical history museum. My wife got fed up with all of this, explained Dr. Joseph Touma, laughing. She said, Joe, you have to do something with it. My daughter, Mona, said I should open a little museum. That was in the mid-1990s. The ear, nose and throat specialist had been collecting medical artifacts for years, and they were piling up. At the same time, he was renovating a building at 314 Ninth St. in downtown Huntington and the 3,500-square-foot third floor was the perfect place to house the growing collection.

INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...
