Black Health: Medical Racism, Resistance, and Wellness



The pandemic has laid bare longstanding racial inequities in healthcare. Join us for the opening panel of the 2021-2022 CBFS season on Black Health: Medical Racism, Resistance, and Wellness. The conversation brings together four scholars whose work examines the long history of medical racism and unequal access to quality medical care including mental health care; the racialized political economy of public hospitals; and the extensive struggles Black people have waged to challenge healthcare inequalities and build strategies for their own wellness.
