Join the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights for a virtual conversation between Dr. L’Bertrice Solomon, LP.D., JD, MPH, MMSc, and FXB Director, Dr. Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH, to explore the intersection of reparative justice and racial trauma’s legacy. Is there a pathway to healing for the descendants of the enslaved?
