Pitching the Future of Public Health (Part 1)

Since the first sale of African captives in 1619, North America has had about 250 years when slavery was legal and 150 years during which slavery was abolished.

I also trace the mechanisms for which the impacts of this history can still be observed today. My guests are Thomas LaVeist, Dean of the Tulane School of Public Health, and Susan Reverby, historian of public health at Wellesley College, MA.
