Interfaith Citizens Advocating Racial Equality (ICARE) invites you to join us at the 12th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast on Monday, Jan. 17.
This uplifting event will be held at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 320 Boston Post Road, Weston, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. It will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy community fellowship and reflect on the principles so faithfully exemplified by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as we celebrate his holiday.
This year, Dr. Augustus A. White III, MD, PhD, is the featured speaker. A graduate of Brown University and Stanford Medical School, he was the first African-American resident and professor of surgery at Yale. He is currently professor of medical education and orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School and was the first African-American department head at Harvard’s teaching hospitals.
"Gus," a longtime Weston resident and one of the nation’s leading orthopedic surgeons, recently released a memoir on his life titled " Seeing Patients: Unconscious Bias in Health Care." The book calls for more diversity in medicine and an end to disparities endured by minorities. Dr. White calls this disparity "the last frontier of racial prejudice."
