MPHA’s Virtual Breakfast Honoring Dr. Camara Jones
Friday, September 18, 2020 | 9AM – 10AM
We were honored to be joined by public health luminary Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones (pictured below) and present her with MPHA’s Paul Revere Award at our Virtual Breakfast on September 18th. Dr. Jones’ unwavering commitment to eradicate health inequities and structural racism inspires MPHA’s work every day, and we thank you all for joining us in honoring her.

Many people have asked us for the songs played before and after the speakers. Dr. Jones herself requested Nina Simone and Labi Siffre, so please credit her for the music!
Nina Simone: Feeling Good | Backlash Blues | Here Comes the Sun | Young Gifted & Black
Labi Siffre: Something Inside So Strong
