Series Event: Focus on Public Health and Racial Justice

Please join the Pulitzer Center, Howard University School of Law, and the University of Miami School of Law on Wednesday, March 3, at 12:30pm EST for a conversation with journalist Linda Villarosa.

Villarosa is a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine whose work is featured in The 1619 Project issue. She covers race, inequality, and health. Most recently she covered the toll COVID-19 has taken on Black communities in America and the environmental justice movement in Philadelphia.

This event, the second in a series, is part of The 1619 Project Law School Initiative, a collaboration between the Pulitzer Center, Howard University School of Law, and the University of Miami School of Law that aims to spark frank conversations about the legacy of slavery in legal education. A lesson plan that incorporates Villarosa’s work can be found here.

The 1619 Project Law School Initiative modules are designed to fill voids, enhance educational material, and inspire critical thinking, especially about the historical insights and perspectives that are missing in our understanding of contemporary issues.
