Exhibition on Health Care Equity Features CSRC Archive Materials

The David J. Sencer CDC Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, will host the exhibition Health is a Human Right: Race and Place in America, September 28, 2013-January 17, 2014.

 

The exhibition examines some historic challenges of the past 120 years in achieving health equity for all in the U.S. People with low-incomes, minorities, and other socially disadvantaged populations face significant inequities in opportunity for optimal health. This can lead to inequities in health, along the lines of race, ethnicity, and place.

In addition to viewing historic photographs, documents, and objects, visitors view the health of their communities through interactive atlases. Videos, including one of Michelle Obama talking about access to fresh food and vegetables, will be integrated throughout.

This exhibition includes materials from the Edward R. Roybal Papers and Photograph Collection housed at the CSRC.
