SNMA Reenacts Selma March for Health Care Equality

On September 4-7, 2009, the medical students from the Student National Medical Association and other partner organizations marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to advocate for health equity.  From the SNMA website, “We march to demand appropriate redress for the health inequalities that persist. We march to speak to the inequities that we bear daily witness to in our educational mission to serve.  We march because we as young future physicians have a powerful and unified voice that echoes far and wide and on behalf of those who go unheard.”

CIR’s president Dr. L. Toni Lewis spoke to the students in front of the capital house in Montgomery, Alabama.
