About this Event
A free screening of the documentary, Takeover, takes place Monday, October 3, 2022 at the Little Theatre in Rochester. Takeover explores the twelve historic hours on July 14, 1970, in which fifty members of the Young Lords Party stormed the dilapidated Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx, drove out their administrative staff, barricaded entrances and windows, and made their cries for decent healthcare known to the world. Film director, Emma Francis-Snyder, and former Young Lord member, Cleo Silver, will join for a panel discussion after the screening.
Topics explored in the short film relate to the work of the Equity and Anti-Racism Action Plan, especially the fifth goal to, “engage in equity as a health system by making care more accessible and reducing disparities through research, active listening, and collaboration with community partners.”
The URMC Office of Equity and Inclusion and the Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics are sponsoring the screening and panel discussion.
