The 13th Annual Augustus A. White III Spine Symposium was held in October by the department of orthopaedics at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Among his many recent honors, Gus spoke at the First Parish Church in Weston, Mass., about the impact one person can have in changing institutional practices and policies, and highlighted how far society still must go to overcome racial, cultural, gender, and institutional biases. Gus also led a workshop at the 2017 National Caucus on Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health Disparities. He addressed the Conference of National Black Churches on injustice and bias in our health system. In 2016, Gus became an honorary lifetime member of the Brown University Advisory Council on Diversity, appointed by President Christina Paxson. He is also president of the Brown class of 1957.
