Usefulness of a Health Education and Promotion Book Club to Teach About Race and Social Justice

Abstract

Emphasizing the value of utilizing both facts and stories to teach and learn about health, race, and social justice, this reflection makes a case for using The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health to create a dialogue with undergraduate health education students. The unique combination of facts and stories that the two books provide sparked conversations from which both my students and I were grateful to learn.
