Description
Tamara Baker and Tiffany Washington present a 2023 symposium summary on Black aging and the role of historically Black colleges. Health gains have raised life quality for many older adults, but not in equal measure for older Black adults. The authors argue that fixing split systems that breed gaps is a shared duty, not one group's task.
The set of talks honors work by scholars at those colleges on the health of older Black adults. One talk covers body, mind, and social drivers of cognition. A second covers faith based coping and vaccine doubt. A third looks at social health drivers in Caribbean societies. A fourth reads population and history data from Black centered views. A discussant ties the themes and gives advice for joint work.
