De La Soul Launches Good Health Summit at Morehouse on Feb. 19

The invitation-only convening links cultural influence with cancer research to advance health equity for Black men.

Overview

  • Organizers confirmed the Good Health: Mind, Body & Soul Summit for February 19 at Morehouse College in Atlanta with attendance by invitation only.
  • The effort is rooted in De La Soul’s song “Good Health,” written after the death of founding member David “Trugoy” Jolicoeur, marking the group’s shift into wellness advocacy.
  • LIXTE Biotechnology is sponsoring the event and publicly connects its oncology programs, including the PP2A inhibitor LB-100 and European subsidiary LIORA, to the summit’s mission.
  • Programming will convene clinicians, researchers, artists, athletes, and advocates to address cancer, heart disease, mental health, addiction, sleep, relationships, and intergenerational wellness.
  • Coverage describes an intimate, off-the-record approach with no cameras or social media to encourage candid discussion.
