Sickle Cell Anemia in the US\n- 72,000 cases in America(CBCF Health Organisation, 2004)\n- Most cases occur in those with African ancestors in America (CBCF Health Organisation, 2004)\n- 2 million people carry the sickle cell genetic trait in America (CBCF Health Organisation, 2004)\n- 1 in 12 African Americans carry the sickle cell trait in America (CBCF Health Organisation, 2004)\n- About 91,000 people with sickle cell anemia ("Orphan Products: Hope for People With Rare Diseases", By Carol Rados, FDA Consumer magazine, November-December 2003 Issue) \n\n\nA genetic mutation of hemoglobin called HbS conveys sickle cell anemia. HbS carriers would be selected for because it gives some resistance to malaria. Their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to sickle when they are infected by the malaria parasite. Those infected cells flow through the spleen, which culls them out because of their sickle shape -- and the parasite is eliminated along with them.\n\nSo in malaria infested areas of Africa Sickle Cell anemia is a very real protection against one of the major killers. While children with HbS from both parents die, those with only one set of HbS are somewhat protected against malaria - a valuable enough trait to keep it alive in a population.

A hematologist is a physician specialising in the treatment of blood diseases. Hematologists may specialise further, for example, in treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, or in treating hematological malignacies such as lymphoma and leukemia (onco hematology). Some of the tools used are needles and other tools that help study and extract blood.

Because of the "one drop rule" that has been ingrained in black people's history in America.  It says that if you have one drop of black blood, you are black.  Also, maybe they just identify more with the black side of them rather than the other side.  It's their prerogative.

Hope this information is more than enough n helps u in yor project:\n\nPeople could obtain medical help from a large number and variety of practitioners. Poor Christians could ordinarily get relief from their local parishes, sometimes including visitors to the sick poor, and quite a few larger towns and cities supplemented, oversaw, or supplanted these forms of charity with their own systems of poor relief, which sometimes included payment for practitioners who treated the poor. But in most cases, the sick first looked to domestic medicine for help. Many people (mainly women but sometimes men) undoubtedly had favourite recipes and rituals for such purposes, and these were passed on from generation to generation. When problems were too difficult for the family alone, other neighbours could be called upon: strong men such as blacksmiths might set broken bones and dislocated appendages, for example, while other people had special reputations for their knowledge or treatment, often being known by vernacular terms such as “wise-woman” or “wise-man”. They cast spells and used special potions, ointments, and other medicines, often keeping the ingredients secret. Given that most such help remained part of oral traditions, it is very difficult for historians to gain a knowledge of such practices, except where complaints were registered in local courts or otherwise recorded. The early modern period experienced the height of the so-called “witch craze”, and many wise-women and wise-men became its victims (see Witchcraft). Another group of medical assistants were midwives, who sometimes might also happen to be wise-women. As skilful as they often were in helping to ease delivery, midwives sometimes also used various beliefs and practices that would today be classified as “folk” medicine or superstition, such as opening windows and untying knots in order to open all passages. In large communities, some midwives could make a good, regular income from their practice; in such places, many of the best-regarded midwives took apprentices, who paid them for their training in the safe delivery of babies.\n\nAt the same time, many hospitals, which had been places of resort for the poor, aged, and displaced, became increasingly oriented towards caring only for the sick, discharging them when they were well. In England, for instance, after Henry VIII appropriated all church revenues, and in so doing cut away the financial support for most hospitals, five hospitals continued in London with support from the City of London but became more particular in the kinds of people cared for: orphans (Christ’s), the mentally ill (Bethlehem, often shortened to “Bedlam”), the unemployed (Bridewell), or the sick poor (St Bartholomew’s and St Thomas’s). In Catholic countries, too, hospitals became increasingly distinct from hospices. In Paris, for instance, the Hôtel Dieu developed into a major institution for the care of the sick, adding four new wings by the end of the 17th century. For those institutions concerned with the sick and mad poor, especially, bedrest and diet remained the bedrock for helping people back on their feet, but medical treatments came to supplement, and in some cases supplant, religious services. Hospitals for the sick poor therefore usually had nurses, apothecaries, and surgeons on the staff for daily assistance, and physicians who visited regularly. Medical personnel began to use the hospitals in the teaching of their apprentices or students, and sometimes they used the inmates of the places as subjects on whom they tried new treatments or surgical methods. Paris had a particularly large number of hospitals and patient beds, and therefore even in the later 17th century attracted many aspiring medical practitioners who wanted to see many examples of illness and treatment at once.

(m)\n\nHemophilia was recognized, though not named, in ancient times. The Talmud, a collection of Jewish Rabbinical writings from the 2nd century AD, stated that male babies did not have to be circumcised if two brothers had already died from the procedure.\n\nThe Arab physician Albucasis, who lived in the 12th century, wrote of a family whose males died of bleeding after minor injuries.\n\nThen, in 1803, a Philadelphia physician named Dr. John Conrad Otto wrote an account of "a hemorrhagic disposition existing in certain families". He recognized that the condition was hereditary and affected males. He traced the disease back through three generations to a woman who had settled near Plymouth, New Hampshire, in 1720.\n\nThe word "hemophilia" first appears in a description of the condition written by Hopff at the University of Zurich in 1828.

There are blood banks in quite a few cities in Oklahoma.  In Norman, one of them (at least it was, still should be) was on Campus Corner.  Just look them up in a phone book or Internet yellow pages.
