Remembering the Legacy of Women in Healthcare: A Personal Story for Women’s History Month

This March marks the 36th commemoration of Women’s History Month, celebrating the vital role of women in American history. Because this year’s theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” I feel inspired to tell my mother’s story. More than any other narrative, her experiences profoundly impacted the trajectory of my life while connecting me to a larger story we should all celebrate this March – the women nurses who care for us, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Women’s Hoops contribute to CSUDH History

And if you look around at the legacy that this campus has created, for us to be hanging a banner in the fall for the conference championship, and another banner to say we’ve been to the NCAAs. That’s pretty good!”

Big Business Must Stop Taking Big Tobacco Money

They help silence our voices and efforts aimed at encouraging policymakers to take specific steps to protect our people, thus becoming complicit in our death and disease.

OP-ED: Pursuing Martin Luther King Jr.’s Beloved Community

According to Dr. King, the creation of a beloved community would require the American people to address three great evils of society: racism, poverty, and militarism. My friend and former colleague, the late John R. Lewis, arguably Dr. King’s most ardent disciple, often invoked the concept to buttress his calls for a “just society.” John was committed to the pursuit, but I always wondered if such were possible until recently.
