SUMMARY:John Henryism and the Health of African Americans
DESCRIPTION:John Henryism and the Health of African Americans  JOHN HENRYIS
 M AND THE HEALTH OF AFRICAN AMERICANS\n\nDate: Sunday\, Mar 24\nTime: 12:3
 0-2 pm\nLocation: Fireside Room\nFacilitator: Sherman James\, Ph.D.\nConta
 ct: Marilyn Austin (marilyn_a@uucpa.org) Registration: Not required\n\nThi
 s presentation will be based\, in part\, on a book that Dr. James is writi
 ng this year\, while a Fellow at Stanford’s Center for the Advanced Stud
 y of the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS). He is the originator of the John Hen
 ryism hypothesis\, which posits that repeated\, high effort coping (John H
 enryism) by African Americans\, with racial subjugation and economic discr
 imination in American society\, generates chronic psychological stress\, w
 hich\, in turn\, increases their risk for earlier onset and higher mortali
 ty from cardiovascular diseases. The John Henryism hypothesis is rooted in
  African American folklore (namely\, the legend of John Henry\, the steel-
  driving man\, who beat a machine in a steel-driving contest but then drop
 ped dead from exhaustion)\, and in a fast-growing literature in public hea
 lth and public policy research on the role of structural racism in creatin
 g\, and perpetuating\, US racial and social class inequities in health.\n\
 nSherman James\, a social psychologist by training and a social epidemiolo
 gist by profession\, is the Susan B. King Professor Emeritus of Public Pol
 icy at Duke University. He also holds adjunct professorships in epidemiolo
 gy/public health at Tulane and Emory Universities. He is a member of the N
 ational Academy of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and a past
  president of the Society for Epidemiological Research. He is the 2016 Mah
 atma Gandhi Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
 . Sherman is also a Unitarian Universalist\, and we have been delighted to
  have him as part of our congregation this year.
