The Mandel Humanities Center and Stand for Racial Justice at Cuyahoga Community College will host an online panel discussion on “The Color of Environmental Health: The Effects of Environmental Justice on Human Well-Being.”

Dr. Derrick Williams, a Professor of Communication Studies at Cuyahoga Community College, will lead a panel discussion with community leaders to address how issues related to environmental health and justice disproportionately impact communities of color, as well as ways that individuals can get involved to improve physical, mental, and community environmental health outcomes. Topics will include lead poisoning, air and water quality, tree canopy, and access to nature, among others.
