Photo of the Week

On the one-year anniversary of the national #WhiteCoats4BlackLives die-in, BALSO organized a photo booth to take part in the #ActionsSpeakLouder campaign. Students made signs with concerns about medical education and medicine and posted photos of them to social media to spur action against racism and inequality. Above, co-organizers Denzel Woode and Ashley White-Stern show the signs they made.
