Students, faculty, and staff celebrated Black History Month with a special speaker event on February 25 at Saint Luke’s College. Four employees from Saint Luke’s Health System and one member of the community talked about their experiences of navigating environments where they were in the minority—attending mostly white schools while growing up, or now working in primarily white office environments. Several speakers also shared information about the history of African American nurses.
