Honoring Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman physician in the United States, this session centers the legacy of Black women in medicine and birth work. We examine how medical racism developed, how it continues to shape maternal health outcomes today, and why reclaiming Black birth knowledge is a form of resistance and survival.
