DESCRIPTION:\nIn partnership with Harvard Public Health magazine\, the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights will host a free\, in-person symposium at Harvard University’s Martin Center. Throughout the day\, we will be examining the challenging question of how to redress centuries of anti-Black racism – and how to ensure that reparations are designed with the long-term health of Black communities and individuals in mind. Speakers will bring a wide range of expertise in law\, policy\, public health\, history\, media\, and community organizing.\n\n\n\nLocated at the Martin Center\, at 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, this will be an interactive symposium\, so bring your questions and ideas! Breakfast and lunch will be served.\n\n\n\nThe Martin Center is accessible by public transportation and near several garages\, but there is no parking on site. Information on traveling to the center is available here. We are proud to work with several outstanding partners on this event\, including Ujamaa Seeds and Sweet Teez Bakery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the animation created by Taryn Johnson on reparations and health below: \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n8am - 9am: Gathering\n\n\n\n9am - 9:15am: Welcome by Dr. Aletha Maybank and Dr. Michelle A.

The views expressed during the program were those of the speakers and did not necessarily reflect the views of the funders or organizers.\n\n\n\nPlease direct any questions about this event to Claire Street at cstreet@hsph.harvard.edu.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe organizers of this Symposium acknowledge the intersection between COVID and structural racism\, which has resulted in a disproportionate impact of COVID in Black\, Indigenous\, and LatinX communities. We expect over 300 participants and ask that you follow this protocol to protect everyone in attendance\, and the communities people will return to.Masking\n 	Masks should be worn at all times while indoors (you may unmask briefly to eat or drink\, and speakers may unmask when presenting). We will have free N95 masks available on site for anyone to access.\nTesting\n 	Regardless of vaccination status\, we are asking all attendees to use a rapid test the morning of 11/3.  We will have free test kits available on site for those who are unable to access a test in advance.  \n 	Individuals who are feeling unwell or test positive should not participate in the Symposium and should take the necessary steps to isolate\, following public health guidance.\nVaccination\n 	We strongly recommend all attendees be up to date with their COVID vaccination as defined by the CDC (a completed full primary series plus at least one booster).  Find a COVID vaccine near you.\n\n\n\n\n
