Her portfolio includes driving around the county to provide family-planning services, and one of her first jobs is to give Depo-Provera shots to two young girls, age 11 and 13. ![]() She quickly becomes very close to one particular family of patients. ![]() She confesses to being “uppity,” saying, “our arrogance was a shield against the kind of disdain that did not have the capacity to even conceive of Black intellect.” Her father wanted Civil to follow in his footsteps, but nursing called to her as a way to be closer to patients.
