UT Southwestern Celebration
The event was a Black History Month Celebration featuring music from the Big Easy Brass Band, followed by a keynote address from faculty member Dr. Roma Johnson. Dr. Johnson's lecture connected the infrastructure and survival programs established by the Black Panther Party (such as free breakfast for children and community clinics) to modern principles of quality improvement and community health intervention. He discussed how these historical efforts addressed systemic failures, like those concerning sickle cell disease, by creating data and visibility where established systems failed. The discussion framed quality improvement as conscious engagement within constraints, emphasizing that the means of delivering care are inseparable from the outcomes and culture created.
