Take Freedom by James O’Neil Spady examines the 1822 Black Charlestonians' efforts to abolish slavery. It highlights Black contributions, framing the uprising as a social movement rooted in African traditions, driven by radical love and resistance. #Blackbooksky #Booksky #Blacksky

I’m a cardiovascular epidemiologist (amongst other things). Today is Wear Red Day. Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer in women, and Black women experience the highest burden. I’m adding a few resources in the skeets below

ABOUT THE UVM PRESIDENTIAL LECTURE SERIES
For the 2025-26 academic year, the University explores the future of higher education. Changing demographics, upended federal and state policy, new technologies, evolving student and family expectations, uncertain job markets, rising mistrust of the academy, lessons from Covid, technological innovations, and disagreement about the very purpose of an education all raise questions about higher education's ends and the means to those ends.
The Burack Lecture Series brings to campus scholars, scientists, artists and writers who are acknowledged as preeminent in their discipline. In addition to enriching the academic environment, the Burack President's Distinguished Lecture Series also helps to showcase the exceptional caliber of UVM faculty, students and programs.



If you require an accommodation or service to participate, please contact michelle.clark@uvm.edu to discuss options.

This! There’s nothing wrong with loving what you do, but trying to be perfect, superhuman even (impossible), to prove something to people who will never see you is not worth it. Black people deserve to be simply human.
