ATLANTA - ncarol.com -- Keep Black Love Alive: Black Women Defining a Healthy 21st Century is a four-part national forum and a call to action to strengthen our public health infrastructure and advance the health and well-being of Black communities nationwide. The first (in-person and virtual) forum will take place on Thursday, June 23, 2022 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The High Museum of Art - Hill Auditorium located at 1280 Peachtree Street NE Atlanta, GA 30309.  Admission is free.

"Harriet Washington helps us understand that health disparities are the civil rights issue of the 21st century.  It is not black hats vs white hats. Her insight is foundational - absolutely essential  for those of us creating the conditions of intergenerational well-being." says Abeni Bloodworth, co-founder, writer, and artist-activist, chromatic black™.

The  Keep Black Love Alive forum is an invitation to join a  national campaign powered by Black women leaders, their allies and friends  across the country to combat truth decay, misinformation and disinformation, and medical distrust.  Information learned in the forum will be used by movement leaders to inform a national advocacy agenda. This policy agenda will further new ways of transforming our systems with racial equity and intergenerational well-being at the center.

"Since the 1970s, the national women's studies movement has been one of the most transformative interdisciplinary projects in higher education, and Spelman has been at the forefront of that movement," said Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women's Studies and founding director of the Women's Research and Resource Center. "We are excited to join this new generation of voices for a conversation about the future of gender equity."
