After decades of community and global activism, the statue of J. Marion Sims was finally removed from East Harlem on April 17th, 2018. Sims was a physician who gained fame in Western medicine for his experiments on African-American female slaves. Join us for a community discussion and artistic expression as we work together to move beyond this painful legacy.
