Black students have played a pivotal role in pioneering programs and in pushing their institutions to act in ways that move towards health equity. This student-planned and -moderated session will illuminate diverse perspectives, building from understanding history, about ways institutions can enact a clear “action agenda,” including concrete opportunities and responsibilities, through which everyone concerned about these issues can see ways to promote action to accelerate long-overdue progress.
