Sociologist and professor Ruha Benjamin shared a powerful message with the graduating class of University of Southern California Rossier School of Education. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

[Art Hx @ArtHxProject]

Exciting new project out of King's College London, reflecting on the part played by medical professionals in the transatlantic slave trade. Their first post reflects on the research process... "what is a medical source for the history of slavery?" Well worth a read.

Next up: @ChimweMal on situating the black body in medical illustration. Do we need new frames of reference to work with anatomical & pathological images like these?
