Lead poisoning and air pollution are among the public health issues that disproportionally impact low-income people of color, especially children. Shedding light on these issues, the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation is co-sponsoring an event with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit Public Television and Wayne State University with leaders in the public health community engaging in a live-streamed event titled, “Racism: The Real Public Health Crisis.” 

Challenge Detroit is launching their ninth cohort of community-minded leaders this September, and they are hoping to recruit more individuals to participate by submitting an application this summer!
