This upcoming exhibition and film documentary
opening Nov. 20, 2013 at U of A's Gorgas Library
in Tuscaloosa is the most significant overview into
the sordid history of Tobacco and its relentless battle
to deny the health risks. Surgeon General Luther Terry's
landmark findings in 1964 are central to this presentation.
This information is provided by exhibit curator
Dr. Alan Blum, the Gerald Leon Wallace MD Endowed
Chair in Family Medicine, UA's College of Community
Health Services. Dr. Blum and his colleagues are
anti-smoking champions; this work is crucial to the
future of a smoke free world.
