Social Justice Series

Each quarter we will explore different identities and topics through books and documentaries to learn from the experiences of others.

We then gather on Zoom to discuss the what we've learned and how we can use what we've learned to create more inclusive spaces at TI and in our own lives.

Everything's Tuberculosis by John Green

Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

In 2019, John Green met Henry, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone while traveling with Partners in Health. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year.
