Get Ready For Critical Condition: Health in Black America Screening and Panel Discussion

Written By WHUT webmaster

Why are Black Americans more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease? Why is their life expectancy five years shorter than White Americans—despite no genetic differences between races?

Join us for an urgent conversation featuring clips from Critical Condition: Health in Black America, the acclaimed NOVA and Firelight Films documentary by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stanley Nelson. The film traces how structural racism, medical bias, and lived experience shape health today.

The evening includes a live panel with featured voices from the film and a post-event reception to continue the dialogue.

🕕 Time: 6:00 PM ET (Doors open at 5:30 PM; Reception at 7:45 PM)
