you are absolutely right

Absolutely

I AGREE.

know our story not His story.

It’s very limited still

And perhaps the non-represented also feel nervous, even afraid.

It’s the same basic figures

Yes

I learned history at home on my own and through being involved in NAACP youth council. Rarely anything in school

Please come to Shepherd University on March 21 and 22 to see the African American History exhibits: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hPqZBcp_pj-ccAdU9b_SGtFTCDxpDdwjNVailbY9iEM/edit?usp=sharing

The flier is here for you!

I LEARNED BLACK HISTORY IN MY SEGREGATED SCHOOLS IN WEST VIRGINIA. I WAS TAUGHT BLACK PRIDE BY BLACK TEACHERS.

the black history in Jefferson County is so rich and it’s an absolute shame that it’s not widely known and documented

People want their stories told

It’s not sinister

Frederick, MD has an organization called AARCH that shares the history of Frederick including black contributions and experience. They are going to open a museum.

Thank you for sharing that information Lisa. I work in Frederick and never heard of that org before. I’ll check it out.

You are most welcome Latisha!

Feel free to write thoughts in the chat so that we are also able to touch on topic 3

National Health service for everyone is super important

DISPARITIES IN THE HEALTH CARE REALLY CAME TO SURFACE WITH THE COVID EPEDEMIC; HOWEVER THE DISPARITIES EXISTED BEFORE THEN.

We need to increase representation of BIPOC as health care professionals.

A lot of the problems we see in education cross over into healthcare because good healthcare requires good education and real listening to the patient.

My experience is that healthcare workers are exposed to very light weight 'diversity training' rather than training about how to recognize their own biases and how that impacts care.

That's a great point Carla. And who could blame black people for not wanting to be test subjects... again.

Thank you Dr. Chisolm!
