Health has always been a civil rights issue. From the struggle to desegregate hospitals to today’s fights around Black maternal mortality, chronic disease, and structural bias in medicine, the right to be well has long been shaped by race, power, and policy.
In this timely conversation, leading voices in medicine, public health, and health justice reflect on the realities Black and Brown communities face in the healthcare system today. The session will explore how legacies of discrimination still impact care, and what individuals can do to advocate for themselves and their families within systems not designed with them in mind.
Featuring powerful spoken word, compelling video, and poignant film clips, this session brings together art and conversation to deepen understanding and inspire action. Grounded in the theme March On! Health: The Right to Be Well, it honors those who paved the way while offering practical strategies for navigating today’s healthcare challenges. It’s both a tribute to the movement and a roadmap for survival and self-determination.
Speakers:
Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH, CEO/Co-Founder, Truthlight Studio, in conversation with Uché Blackstock, MD, Founder & CEO, Advancing Health Equity and Joel Bervell, MD, Instagram’s 'Medical Mythbuster.'
