May 13th: Shared Experiences with COVID-19 in African and African American Communities
Each webinar will begin with an update of COVID-19 statistics on the African continent from the Africa CDC, then the moderator will introduce us to the topic and the panelists. After the panelists have a conversation, there will be an opportunity for the audience members to ask questions. This week's conversation juxtaposes African American and African experiences with COVID-19. This week's webinar is co-sponsored with the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University.
