Dr. Velva Boles, Harlen Victor & Dr. Ron Daniels on Black Community Health, Policy Concerns and the Post-Election Black Agenda

 

Physician and scientist Dr. Velva Boles returns to our classroom on Tuesday morning. Dr. Boles will passionately discuss why it is crucial for the Black community to proactively prepare for changes that will impact our health in the coming year. With proposed policy shifts that threaten to decrease Medicare rolls, remove food stamps, and eliminate school lunch programs, it is more important than ever for our community to stay informed, engaged, and united. Dr. Boles will also expose the egregious ICE atrocities at the Woman-Child Detention Center in Alexandria, Louisiana, and explain how building Blue Zones across the country can create lasting, positive change for our people. Before Dr. Boles, be inspired by architect Harlen Victor, who will share his compelling journey of resilience and vision. Then, hear from Dr. Ron Daniels, president of the Institute of the Black World 21st Century, as he previews a pivotal post-election Town Hall Meeting focused on advancing the Black Agenda following the recent election results.
