I Am My Sisters Keeper: Overcoming Disparities In Health Care For Black Women

 Historic Stagville is a state historic site that includes the remnants of the one of the largest plantations in North Carolina. The Bennehan-Cameron family owned approximately 30,000 acres of land, and claimed ownership over about 900 people who were enslaved on this property. Stagville protects a fraction of the land from that plantation, including original slave quarters (1851), a massive barn (1860), and a Bennehan family house (1787-1799). Stagville is dedicated to teaching about the lives and work of enslaved people on the plantation.

A visit to Historic Stagville State Historic Site reveals a powerful, intergenerational history of slavery, emancipation, and injustice. Discover stories of family, forced labor, freedom-seeking, and resistance. Stagville continues to expand the interpretation of the history of slavery, with archaeology, oral histories, and archival research.

"To reimagine systems that create inequitable outcomes for Black and Brown residents, the DEI Alliance and its partners built on the longstanding work in the community to create a Blueprint to dismantle systemic racism in Wake County, North Carolina. The Blueprint is a living document comprising more than 40 goals and 150 near-term action items that organizations can take to address systemic racism. It was created by a group of more than 50 leaders from community-based organizations who met as working groups from June through November 2021. Working groups drafted goals and ideas to transform Wake County into a place where Black and Brown residents experience equity in every aspect of their lives. The work of this group—focused on economic mobility, criminal justice, education, and health equity—is designed to evolve over time through an ongoing and collaborative process. As a result, the Blueprint is the beginning of a long-term effort to create lasting change. Download the report, and more importantly, join us in creating an equitable Wake County!"
