Black Health and Wellness throughout the African Diaspora
ACU’s official Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved celebrated Black History Month this February with a theme of Black Health and Wellness throughout the African Diaspora. This edition covers a broad array of topics within this theme—the epidemiology of COVID-19 in Nigeria in the first year of the pandemic; an analysis of the before and after of the Flint, Michigan water crisis; Black/White cancer disparities; and much more.
