Overcoming Discomfort on the Path to Becoming a Better Ally or Activist

This is the first session of LaidBlack, scheduled intentionally on July 4th. Prior to the start of the Zoom audio recording, we delved into Frederick Douglass' "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" and the two sides this traditional American holiday has to Black and non-Black citizens. Unfortunately, this episode will miss that important introduction but I recommend listening to NPR's Rendition from Frederick Douglass' descendants to fill yourself in.  Panelists: Farrah-Amoy Fullerton, MS4- Administrative Leader of Student-Led Anti-Racism Movement at UABSOM Michael Liptrot, MS2- President of UABSOM Student National Medical Association Morgen Owens, MS4- Learning Community Representative Rob Rosencrans, GS2- Representative of Medical Students for Reduced Harm Jason Noah- Program Director for Student Success.
