Inclusive Practice: MLK Day

In observance of MLK Day, we wanted to share Dr. King's vision and remarks on equity and its application in the health fields. 

As Dr. King said in a press conference in Chicago, “Of all forms of discrimination and inequalities, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.”

As you enjoy a day off from classes, we hope you will spend some time engaging with events, ideas, and work happening on and off campus that uplift communities and the vision of Dr. King.
