Michael Bloomberg isn’t shy about leveraging his fortune in an attempt to solve intractable problems, like obesity and gun violence. On Sept. 3, the billionaire added another public health project to his fix-it list: America’s Black doctor shortage.

Bloomberg announced Thursday that he would give $100 million to the nation’s four historically Black medical schools: Meharry Medical College, Howard University College of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine and Charles R.
