400 Years of Inequality Timeline Unveiling & Reception

The 400 Years Timeline follows the history of African Americans, women, Native Americans, and working people. It was composed through the research of students in the 400 Years of Inequality class at The New School, taught by Mindy Fullilove, in Spring and Fall of 2017. The BUSPH Activist Lab will recreate this timeline in Talbot Lobby as part of our 400 Years of Inequality Commemoration. We invite our community to engage with it throughout the month of October by adding moments in history that you feel are important to the narrative of inequality in America. Examples include: when your family arrived in America; pivotal events in the fields of public health, medicine, and/or civil rights; political movements and/or laws that impact equity, etc. The images and text provided are drawn from multiple sources and have been composed by the timeline designers for public education purposes.
