Race Matters

Former U.S. surgeon general Jocelyn Elders will be the guest speaker at Rutgers–Newark during the Marion Thompson Wright Lecture Series.

Dr. Jocelyn Elders
Dr. Jocelyn Elders was the U.S. surgeon general under president Bill Clinton.

Since its founding in 1981, the Marion Thompson Wright Lecture Series has always tackled big topics, from the role of African Americans in reshaping notions of beauty to the influence of memory on identity in the African diaspora. This year’s program—Taking Good Care: A History of Health and Wellness in the Black Community—will examine the intersection of health and race in American life. Dr. Jocelyn Elders, the U.S. surgeon general under president Bill Clinton, will deliver the main lecture at the event, which commemorates Black History Month, taking place on February 18, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Paul Robeson Campus Center at Rutgers–Newark. There will be an accompanying exhibit about health and wellness at the Newark Museum.
