Community Health Council of Wyandotte County (CHC) along with the creators of the Redlined Comic Book series will examine how historical property value discrimination (through redlining in the 1930’s) has snowballed over time into Wyandotte neighborhoods suffering from inadequate housing, lack of access to adequate health care, and environmental health injustices. CHC will present the Health Equity Transformation report. Students will be engaged with Head, Heart, Foot exercises (what does this information make you think? how does this information make you feel? how does this information inspire you to action?) The comic book team will present the comics and work with students to tell their own three panel comic based on the report.
