We Act for Environmental Justice and Libraries for the Future bring you:
Genes and Justice: A Community Symposium on Health, Race and Rights

Monday, September 24, 2007
8:00am – 5:00pm
Reception 5:00pm – 7:00pm

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
515 Malcolm X Boulevard/Lenox Avenue (at 135^th Street)
New York, NY 10037-1801

Now that the Human Genome Project has completed our genetic map, communities must address the opportunities and challenges posed by scientific progress. This symposium begins a series of conversations for communities of color to assess the implications of the growing role that genetic information plays in our society. Through dialogue, we hope to advance policies that promote health, equity and justice.
