The event will feature a panel discussion with multiple trailblazers in the field of health and science, including ORWH’s first full-time director, Vivian W. Pinn, M.D., J. Taylor Harden, Ph.D., RN, Kenneth Olden, Ph.D., and Nathan Stinson, Jr., Ph.D., M.D. Join hosts for an insightful dialogue as they honor the legacy of these trailblazers and spotlight how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 influenced their personal journeys and, generally, careers at NIH.
