Black History Month at The Gregory School! Online
Black Men's Health and Wellness
Calling all fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, uncles...and the people who love them: this panel is for YOU! We know that Black men are among the least likely to go to the doctor, be it for routine check-ups or specialized care. So, The Gregory School is bringing the doctors to you! Hear from experts in the field of internal medicine, cardiology, urology and more about the challenges Black men face, as well as some practical tools to meet those challenges head on. This event made possible by the generous support of Texas Southern University's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Bring your questions and come ready to learn!

It's Black History Month! "Negro History Week", the brainchild of historian and scholar Dr. Carter G. Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950), was first observed February 7, 1926. The son of enslaved parents, Woodson would matriculate at Berea College, University of Chicago, become the second African American to earn a PhD from Harvard University (WEB DuBois was the first), and have a prolific career at Howard University. In February 1969, students and educators at Kent State University proposed the first Black History Month and celebrated it in February 1970. Join us each week as we continue this time-honored tradition and celebrate Dr. Woodson's vision with an exploration of "Black Health and Wellness", our theme for Black History Month 2022!
