Eighteen Black Women Suspect Babies Were Stolen by Missouri Hospital

Years after a group of Black mothers were told that their babies had died shortly after childbirth, the women are questioning the claims.The inquiries surrounding the infants’ deaths arose after 76-year-old Zella Jackson Price was recently sought out by her now 50-year-old daughter, who’d been placed in foster care and was eventually adopted by a Black family in 1981. Shortly after giving birth in 1965 at the now-defunct Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis, Price says she was told by nurses that her baby had died.
