Research.

BHEC understands and recognizes that Black health and Black life are intricately connected. Black communities continue to face multiple barriers to good health. Where Black communities live, work and play affects how health is experienced. When accessing health care Black health is impacted by the persistence of anti-Black racism in the forms of social marginalization, health inequities, prejudice in health care rooted in the unique legacy of enslavement and colonization. In our research, BHEC draws on the long histories of community and academic scholarship and resistance to explore and expand scholarship on Black health and the anti-Black racism experienced by Black people and communities in health.

The Black Health Education Collaborative acknowledges with gratitude the Indigenous and Afri-Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island who continue to thrive and resist colonial violence while striving for self-determination and decolonial futures. We live, work and play in various territories including the lands of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississauga’s of the Credit River; Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, the Anishinaabe, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation; Kanien:keha’ka and Mi’kmaq.

 

We remember our ancestors, forcibly displanted African peoples, trafficked into Turtle Island as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the histories and legacies of colonialism and neo-colonialism which continue to impact African Peoples and the descendants of the Black diaspora across the world.

 

We recognize that racial colonial violence harms Black, Afri-Indigenous and Indigenous Peoples through both common and distinct logics and actions. We recognize our responsibility and obligations as African Peoples to be good guests on these lands. We offer thanks to our elders and communities from whom we learn. May your wisdom inform our actions towards a more just future.
