“EVIL PERSISTS WHERE GOOD MEN AND WOMEN DO NOTHING AND IGNORE INJUSTICE”
In the annals of American history, Reverend Dr. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., MD, stands as a towering figure of courage, compassion, and conviction. His unwavering dedication to his community and tireless efforts in advocating for African-American culture and rights have left an indelible mark on the fabric of society.
JEFF SINGER, MD…
“@ShravaniD_MD deserves praise for having the courage to point out that the war on drugs is also a war on pain patients. Alas, courageous doctors are in short supply these days. Most doctors keep their heads down and follow the cops’ instructions.”
Yet, his story is not just one of triumph and celebration but also a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who dare to challenge the status quo.
Born into a world of inequality and injustice, Dr. Myers understood the power of education and empowerment. As reported on February 12, 1990, in the New York Times,
“There aren’t many doctors like Ronald Myers, a jazz-playing, Baptist-preaching family practitioner whose dream has always been to practice medicine in the kind of place most other doctors wouldn’t even stop for a tank of gas…
..But there are plenty of places like Tchula, a forlorn patch of Mississippi Delta poverty where it is hard to find a street that’s not rutted, a sign that’s not crooked, a paint job that’s not peeling, or a life that’s not perched on the brink of economic ruin…”
In 1988, alongside his wife, he opened a family health center in Tchula, Mississippi, a region plagued by scarce medical resources and alarmingly high infant mortality rates. His mission was clear: to provide quality healthcare to those who needed it most, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

But Dr. Myers’s vision extended far beyond the confines of his clinic. Recognizing the importance of cultural heritage and identity, he became a fervent advocate for recognizing Juneteenth as a national holiday.
“…Doc Myers led his last Pain Patient Advocacy Week in Washington, DC, from April 23 to 30, 2018. Although he wasn’t feeling up to par when he came to Washington, he used all his energy to lead the movement…”
Juneteenth, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, held profound significance for Dr. Myers and millions of others nationwide. It was a symbol of resilience, freedom, and the enduring spirit of the African-American community.
As Chairman of the National Juneteenth Holiday Campaign and other esteemed organizations, Dr. Myers championed the cause, calling upon the nation to acknowledge and honor this pivotal moment in history.
However, his advocacy did not go unchallenged. Forces opposed to the idea of another national holiday for African-American culture targeted Dr. Myers, viewing his efforts as a threat to the status quo.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS TO BE FREE AND WHY WE CELEBRATE
Despite facing relentless opposition, Dr. Myers remained steadfast in his beliefs, refusing to be silenced by intimidation or coercion. His unwavering courage and resilience inspired countless others to join the fight for equality and justice. However, the struggle took its toll, and Dr. Myers found himself entangled in legal battles and accusations.
In 2016, Dr. Myers was indicted on charges related to the prescribing of medication, allegations that many believed to be politically motivated and designed to discredit his advocacy work.
Though he vehemently denied the accusations, the legal proceedings cast a shadow over his legacy, tarnishing the reputation of a man who had dedicated his life to serving others.
The charges were dropped, but his license was never restored to active status because of fines levied on him by the Board of Medicine for the unfounded investigation they led against him. In other words, “Pay us for attacking you without just cause.”
Despite his challenges and tribulations, Dr. Myers’s spirit remained unbroken. His legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of those who continue to fight for equality and justice.
Though he may no longer walk among us, his vision of a world free from oppression and discrimination is a guiding light for future generations.
Reverend Dr. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., MD, may have been martyred by those who sought to silence his voice. Still, his legacy endures as a testament to the power of conviction, compassion, and unwavering determination.
In honoring his memory, we renew our commitment to the ideals for which he stood and strive to create a more just and equitable society for all.
They followed a new way, their way, and most of the conventional physicians of their day would have disagreed with them because this is not how it has always been done.
And if that is new, it bothers me that this kind of evidence can send a person to prison for as long as this has been going, some many, many years, but in any event, that is the basis for criminal liability.
These people were Nurses, Dentists, Pharmacists, and Physicians; they were not frauds?!!
