COVID-19 continues to ravage the Black community at an overwhelming rate. However, according to nationwide data, Black Americans are less inclined to receive COVID vaccinations than White Americans, with questions and debates looming over the vaccine and its efficacy. This workshop will highlight the disturbing history of the US medical healthcare system and Black exploitation, how it affects us today, and steps you can take moving forward to become medically informed.
