The panel discussion will touch on topics including the history of medical racism in Black and Brown communities and the importance of rapid response COVID-19 testing. Snoop Dogg will also touch on his family history of chronic illnesses.
"Many of us come from these places where we have lived through examples of being test dummies without protections," Dr. Ferrer said in a preview clip.
The video is set to premiere on August 27 at 6 p.m. on the city's Facebook Live page. Officials also said this discussion will launch a new podcast called "No Butts About It" with Mayor Butts.
