24th annual Dr. William G. Anderson Lecture Series, Slavery to Freedom: An American Odyssey!

Part of the 24^th annual Dr. William G. Anderson Lecture Series, Slavery to Freedom: An American Odyssey! This series has long brought incredible speakers to Michigan State University and this year’s participants continue that tradition.

Dr. Rani Whitfield, highly accomplished Board-Certified Family Physician specializing in sports medicine. Identifying community wellness as a freedom movement, Dr. Whitfield’s talk will focus on Black Men’s Health. He is widely recognized for his advocacy work, serving as a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. He has earned numerous awards, including the ASA Southeastern Affiliates Service Award, the American Stroke Association Legacy Award and the NAACP Freedom Award.

This year’s series will be hybrid in nature—offering two options for attendance. For those who are able to join in-person, events will be held on Michigan State University’s campus as we celebrate Black histories and futures. For those who choose to join virtually, each presentation will also be livestreamed (with the exception of the music event, which will not be streamed). These events are free and open to all.
