The University Honors Program’s What Is Your Dream? programming series presents:

Justice and Health: How the Affordable Care Act is Fulfilling the Dream

Tuesday, October 29

4:30pm

Juan Ramon Jimenez Room, Adele H. Stamp Student Union

In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream” speech, he describes the journey of black people from slavery to the promise of freedom. He said black people were given a "bad check" and the marchers were in Washington to demand payment. He also said that the people would "….not be satisfied until justice rolled down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream…” This forum, led by Dr. Stephen Thomas from the UMD Center for Health Equity and School of Public Health, will focus on how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is indeed making good on a portion of that "bad check".

 

This event is free, and light refreshments will be served.

 

This event is co-sponsored by the University of Maryland Center for Health Equity headquartered in the School of Public Health. For more information about this event and Stephen Thomas, click here.
