(Video Series) In the Hands of Revolutionaries and Communities: A Social History of Acupuncture

I recently created a series of videos (trailer and two part series) for the Harvard Asia Center on the lesser known history of the use of acupuncture by Black revolutionaries of the 1970s and modern day practitioners in all different settings — from recovery clinics to prisons. These histories are all about unexpected connections, much like acupuncture itself. I hope you enjoy!
