Ever Vigilant, Julius V. Combs, M.D. by Melba Joyce Boyd. Beneath Elm trees, sheltering Hazlett Street, vigilant descendants of enslaved wombs of still-boned labor, like religious resistance, reimagine existence. When a child visits a physician, sees a black man in a white coat and within a flash envisions
his mission, I am going to be a doctor. Julius commits to covenants as husband, father, brother, son, friend, and physician, countering inequities with a deep belief and an oath to sustain life, to realize hope, for impoverished patients surviving dark parts of cities like Detroit's Westside where he became reflecting
on the arc of tree limbs supplying fresh oxygen for lungs and cool shade for sizzling summer days. Then the consequence of disease destroys the elms leaving empty skies and abandoned homes as factory closings wound neighborhoods, hemorrhaging like bodily injuries.
