Join us for "My Quit Journey." Come learn about the many programs and resources in Milwaukee available to help you or a loved one quit smoking. The program includes a panel discussion with current and former smokers, who will share their quit journey. The discussion will be followed by a tour of the exhibit, Same Game Different Smokers.Same Game Different Smokers exhibition at Washington Park Branch Library (May 8-June 29): Same Game Different Smokers is an exploration of the troubling relationship the tobacco industry has had with the Black Community over the last 400+ years. A collection of archival ads and images are brought together to answer some extremely important questions. The exhibition interrogates the complex connection between increased demand for commercialized tobacco, the transatlantic slave trade, racialized advertising, targeted ad placement and the fact that 45,000 African Americans die every year from tobacco-related illness.Location: Finney Community Room
