  In Roundtable Session: Historicizing Equity Since the Era of Desegregation

Abstract

Objective: Understand and negotiate historical and health literatures about the education and health of Black people.
Evidence: Review of historical literature and empirical education-health literature regarding racial desegregation in U.S. schools.
Results: Socio-historical literature and theories provide a historical guide, but omit a health perspective. Health literature and theories provide a health guide, but they omit a historical perspective. Only the racial battle fatigue theory brings both perspectives together, but it omits the contexts and mechanisms of desegregation in U.S. schools; thus, it contributes towards a post-Brown life course framework.
Conclusions: This theoretical framework to center the experiences of Black people in understanding the empirical relationship between the education and health of Black people over the life course.
