During Black History month, we hope you have time to reflect on the many historical sacrifices and important contributions of Black Americans to our American way of life. We do this in the spirit of sharing:
- To build communities,
- To strengthen relationships,
- To critically look at and transform knowledge and its artifacts in how they are applied to Black Americans,
- To cultivate a culture of caring through deep listening to our patients and colleagues,
- To use history to imagine new ways of sharing in the opportunities and promises of discovery.
Below are some activities to guide your reflection beyond Black History Month:
- Read this article about the experience of DOMs very own Dr. Aubrey Morrison
- Listen and watch One Mic: Black History
- Listen to the NPR program Code Switch
- Watch this short YouTube Video by our medical education and medical student team – The Divide: Confronting Racism in American Health Care
