Hosted by the History of Pharmacy SIG
Desegregation at southern schools of pharmacy was a slow process, with schools admitting their first Black students between the late 1940s and the late 1960s. The stories of the first Black students are rarely told, yet this history is recent enough that many of these pioneers are still alive. By collecting and sharing stories of this complex and uncomfortable history, schools can better understand their own histories and support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. This webinar is an encore presentation of one presented at the recent AACP annual meeting.
