About the Event

The African American Health Equity Task Force and the Buffalo Center for Health Equity are joining with the University at Buffalo and its Community Health Equity Research Institute for Igniting Hope: Healing Historical Trauma from Racist Research, Policies and Practices. The two-day conference is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health and by several community sponsors.

The walk is open to the community. Alternative transport will be provided for those who are unable to do the walk. Conference sessions on Aug. 14 will take place virtually from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
