Black Creativity 2010: Taking Charge of YOU! February 17, 2010

Explore healthier living from an African-American perspective in this year's Black Creativity exhibition, 'Taking Charge of YOU!' Learn how to protect and nourish the body with exercise and fresh, healthy food choices. As you consider changes you'd like to make in the new year, see the grim statistics about health challenges faced by many African Americans, including asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and stress. Taking Charge of YOU! features lectures, panel discussions and workshops--for all age groups--that emphasize healthy living. In conjunction with the Museum's newest permanent exhibit, 'YOU! The Experience,''Taking Charge of YOU!' is a great opportunity to reflect on the positive changes you'd like to make in the new year.
