Good Morning!
First, I appreciated all the suggestions and assistance the list serve participants offered in my quest for images / photographs on the topic of health disparities for an upcoming exhibit – I have written to most of you off-line. Many of your leads have been very worthwhile! To refresh, the museum’s mission is to link public health history with social justice issues. In this exhibit, we intend to explore the historical challenges and social determinants on population health and health inequalities. As we continue to cast a broad net, we find we are a little scant in Latino/Hispanic representation.
In looking for photograph, images, etc., we thought we should first explore organizations in states that have a longer-standing (50+ years) generational history of Latino/Hispanic communities, such as New York, California, Chicago-area, New Mexico, others?). We thought there would be a greater chance of finding and contacting organizations that might have a historic archive, and, in it, include events in that state that addressed this topic, with subsequent documents (posters, flyers, photographs) in these states/areas. If we had access to explore this, we might find something meaningful to include in the exhibit on the topic. Again, I reach out to you for assistance. Can you recommend an organization/ college department/person I could contact that might help me with this search? (Just a reminder: we are not just covering the topic of medical health care – we are also addressing how education, poverty, housing, the (toxic) environment, racial stressors, etc contribute to health disparities).
I remain very grateful for any assistance you can offer.
Best Regards,
Laurie Sedicino
