 The Silver Lining: Leveraging the Expertise of Barbers and Stylists to Promote Health Equity and Create Healthier Communities Wednesday, April 6 | Noon–1 p.m. ET
In many communities, Black barbershops and salons are places where important issues of the day are discussed and debated. Last year, the White House partnered with UMD Professor Stephen Thomas on his “Shots at the Shop” COVID-19 vaccination initiative. In this session, he’ll take you back to the original meaning of the red and blue barber pole, and explore how barbershops and salons can be places for important health-related discussions.
