In 1899, W. E. B. DuBois published his groundbreaking book, The Philadelphia Negro, the first sociological study of an African American community in the United States. The study would go on to shape the field of social science for decades to come. More than 100 years after its publication, racial health disparities persist, and Philadelphia is the “poorest” of the largest U.S. cities, with almost a quarter of residents living in poverty.
A growing body of research shows that social factors like housing, education and income shape the health of people in countless ways, but how has our understanding of the health of our cities changed over the last century? WHYY & The Pulse hosted a conversation about the legacy of The Philadelphia Negro and the path towards more equitable cities.
Support for this event, and for WHYY's coverage on health equity issues comes from the Commonwealth Fund.
