This virtual panel explored health disparities in Richmond; their historical roots in Black political disenfranchisement and racial segregation; and ways that we might improve our city's health by building more equitable neighborhoods. Join moderator Adam Ewing, associate professor, Department of African American Studies, as he leads a conversation with panelists Julian Hayter, professor at the University of Richmond, expert on the history of Richmond, Derek A. Chapman, associate professor of epidemiology, interim director of the Center on Society and Health, Torey Edmonds, community outreach coordinator at the Clark Hill Institute, and Mariah L. Williams, former director of Housing Opportunities Made Equal, currently with Virginia Housing. This virtual event is co-sponsored by the Humanities Research Center.

All of our events will feature a corresponding online module with additional information and resources that will be made available on the History and Health website. Our self-paced online learning modules are designed to be completed in under an hour and they may count toward continuing medical education credit hours, VCU Health DEI training requirements, and the History and Health; Racial Equity badge opportunity.
