Notice
Due to delays at the federal level, UW Health is not yet able to offer the new COVID vaccine. We will provide an update as soon as it becomes available at our clinics.
The session will take place on Saturday, June 20, from 1-3pm with two, one-hour sessions via Facebook Live. RSVP here.
For 30 years, Madison has celebrated Juneteenth. Kujichagulia Madison Center for Self Determination has led the local tradition since 2009. Now, due to COVID-19, all their celebrations have moved online, but they have planned enriching and engaging online panels, classes and performances, and we are thrilled to be included.
The world is facing uncertain times. The Strength of our Resilience will be dedicated to acknowledging the ability of African Americans to thrive, survive, and build in the face of adversity and affirming the messages that are key to successful transitions through difficult times.
