“For the People’s Health”: Advocating for Accessible Healthcare in NYC
Learn how Puerto Rican activists mobilized for free, accessible healthcare for communities of color in East Harlem and the South Bronx in the 1970s and explore the impact of their work on today’s movements for equitable healthcare.
Analyze sources from the online exhibition Activist New York; learn how Black and Latinx activists mobilized for change; and leave with stories, resources, and ideas for your digital classroom.
This workshop is geared towards educators but is open to all with interest in the topic.
