Please join Let's Talk Menopause, in partnership with Black Health Matters, for our next Menopause Talk: The Truth About Race, Ethnicity and Menopause Care on Thursday, October 20 at 1pm EST.

Dr. Sharon Malone already had a connection to black history – it was her sister Vivian Malone who was one of the fist black students to integrate the University of Alabama in 1963. But her involvement in the film came after working with her daughter on a seven grade history project on ancestry.

“I said, ‘Wow, an ancestry project,’” she recalls. “I had no idea much beyond my parents. And my parents were very old — my father was born in 1893, and my mother was born in 1914. And I started it then and left it.”

Just about as far as one could go was the first census in Ala
