Black Health History: Stories of Equity and Legacy

A celebration of Black health history that uplifts both legendary figures and family legacies shaping our path toward equity.

Hey y'all! In this episode we're celebrating the end of Black History Month with some Black health history stories. We're giving you the scoop on Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, the Black woman behind Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine; Harriet Tubman's work in healthcare after freeing enslaved people; Dr. Rachel Hardeman, Dr. Elle Lett, and Dr. Lisa Bowleg, scholars in Black health equity; and Mercie's great-grandpa, Robert McCants Harris, Sr - the first black male nurse at Grady Memorial Hospital!
