“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman.” The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke those words at the 1966 convention of the Medical Committee for Human Rights, which was organized in 1964 to support civil-rights activists during Mississippi’s Freedom Summer.

Co-host Onaje Muid, co-chair of the Task Force of Social Workers of African Descent/National Association of Social Workers/NYC and organizer of the Actualizing the UN Decade on Health Equity in NYC interviews one of the panels of that program, Tyrone Thaddeus Brown. His insights, comments and recommendations are inspired of from over forty years of health advocacy, service delivery and policy formation are shared from a very personal testimony and liberatory perspective.
