Black men suffer far worse health than any other racial group in America. There are a number of reasons for this. They include racial discrimination, a lack of affordable health services, poor health education, cultural barriers, poverty, employment that does not carry health insurance, insufficient medical and social services catering for Black men. Come out and be a part of something positively wonderful for the community. For more information, contact Greg Barnes at (713)859-4964.
