Intergenerational Wisdom: Healing Forward with Dr. Wilson Edward Reed

In honor of Black History Month, the Burke Museum has partnered with the PSO DEI committee to host a candid conversation that centers on the elders of the African diaspora, cultural healing modalities, and a shared reflection from Dr. Wilson Edward Reed. He will share how his healing journey from anxiety and depression has evolved since living through the era of Jim Crow in the racially divisive state of Mississippi.

The presentation will include a grounding exercise inspired by the book:

‘The Inner Work of Racial Justice by Rhonda V. Magee

Drawing: Attendees will be entered into a raffle for a chance to receive a free copy of the author’s book ‘June Bug’. Up to 10 winners will be chosen.

Learn more about the background of the author and the book details below.
