See the magazine spread PDF to see the photo that goes along with these captions:
- These 1968 Poor People’s March narratives and pictures came from the “Health is a Human Right: Race and Place in America” 20th anniversary exhibit, which I helped bring to Georgia State University along with other colleagues.
- I love this caricature, because teaching (in anything, but especially public health) is what feeds my soul. It undergirds Mandela’s quote about making a difference in the lives of others.
- This jam is a gift from Vic Shoenbach, PhD, emeritus professor of epidemiology at the Gillings School and long-time supporter of the Minority Health Conference.
- A photo and quote from Nelson Mandela: “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived; it is what difference we have made in the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” This is 100% my motivation for life.
- Family pictures are everywhere because they are so important. This is a picture of me and my late husband, who died from heart disease. It’s a major public health issue and part of my research interest in African-American men’s health.
- Three of my grandchildren and I painted rocks when they were 4, 5 and 6 on a spur-of-the-moment picnic by a creek in upstate New York. They are now 20, 21 and 22. These rocks have moved with me everywhere for the past 14 years.
