The Role of Blacks in the First 25 Years of the American Association of Suicidology: is There Still a Place for us?
Kirk A R~~Dennis R E~~et al
This panel discussion focussed on the role of Blacks in the AAS during its first 25 years. It is stated that despite recognition of a societal problem & inclusion of a black perspective on suicidology, AAS’s committment to the issue of minority suicide in general, & specifically black suicide, has been limited & at times, questionable. However, it is concluded that the role of Blacks in the AAS has been significant & that there is still a place for Blacks in this association.
