Register to watch the compelling new documentary "Black Men in White Coats" at home any time Sat., Feb. 20 through Mon., Feb 22. Also join us for an online discussion of the film on Feb. 25 at 7pm.

"Black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers preventing black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences on society at large... What if we had a medical workforce that actually reflected our patient population? What challenges do our black boys face? Why is it easier to visualize a black man in an orange jumpsuit than [in] a white coat?" 

Register here to receive an invite for a passcode allowing you to view the film any time Saturday February 20 through Monday February 22. When you are emailed the invite for the passcode, you will also have the option of signing up for the discussion, to take place online on Thursday February 25 at 7pm facilitated by local businessperson and active community member David Foster.
