Flow ers was the only A fri­
can-A m erican student in his
chiropractic college and was
aw arded a prestigious $10,000
scholarship. He was the stu ­
dent body vice president and
has held many adm inistrative
positions as a m em ber o f the
A m erican Black C hiropractic
A ssociations and the C h iro ­
practic A ssociation o f Oregon.
“I wanted to help lend visibil­
ity and an African American pres­
ence so others can say, ‘blacks
have been here before. This is
normal for us,” ’ he said.
When Flowers opened his prac­
tice, his African-American client
base was low and slow coming.
“Had it not been for the white
community. I’d be out o f busi­
ness,” he said.
According to Flowers, it took a
bit m o re tim e to teach
chiropractics to local African
Americans. He took a cue from Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and evan­
gelized. He taught seminars at
churches and community centers,
and took out educational ads in
local newspapers. Slowly, busi­
ness grew by word-of-mouth and
now Flowers has an international
clientele.

Although the study o f chiro­
practic was denied to African
Americans for half-of-a-century.
Flowers believes that the holistic
approach of chiropractic is a natu­
ral fit for the black community as
African Americans traditionally
have trusted time-tested folk medi­
cine and natural home remedies.

In recent years, people have
looked to the Far East for ancient
answers to common ailments, but
Flowers said there’s a lot to learn
from the healing practices of Africa
“No one looks to African any­
more. As the oldest civilization in
the world, these people had to do
something to survive,” he said.
