The “Desegregation History: Recognizing our past, shaping our future” website is an expansion of a permanent exhibit installed on the Medical Campus in the Steven & Susan Lipstein BJC Institute of Health at Washington University School of Medicine.
The exhibit and this website are the culmination of years of work by many individuals within and outside of Washington University School of Medicine and BJC HealthCare. We acknowledge them here.
