Under the Skin: Environmental Racism and Health

by Leave a comment

On Monday, April 24, Linda Villarosa will be in conversation with Jesse Hagopian to discuss her book, Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation. REGISTER!

Villarosa pays particular attention to environmental racism, challenging programs that attribute illnesses in Black communities to individual patients’ habits while ignoring the refinery next door.

For an introduction to her work, read Pollution Is Killing Black Americans. This Community Fought Back.

This 90-minute event will start at 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET on Monday, April 24.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
