After his discharge, Mr. Henry studied marketing and journalism at York College and started a 20-year career in broadcast journalism including CBS’s news magazine ’60 Minutes’, CBS Evening News, CBS national News Radio, Spectrum News NY1 and Bloomberg News.

He stands by the adage “Get Involved.” And looks prayerfully towards the day when racial bias and inequality is eradicated from healthcare using tools such as the ACTT curriculum.
Dr. Leslie Farrington, Retired African American Obstetrician/Gynecologist -
is a retired African American Obstetrician/Gynecologist from New York City, with her MD from Howard University College of Medicine. Leslie has a unique perspective on racism in medicine as the daughter of an interracial couple in the 1950’s and 60’s during the Civil Rights Movement. As a Black physician, Leslie knows that mortality statistics are the tip of the iceberg of preventable harm experienced in the Black community due to racism in medicine and society. After retirement she developed the ACTT Curriculum, with techniques and tools which birthing people, along with their supporters, can use to obtain person centered care with dignity. July 2020, in partnership with Birth Justice activists and community members, Leslie established Black Coalition for Safe Motherhood (BCFSM) to spread ACTT and promote health care advocacy and holistic support of birthing families across the African Diaspora.
