A virtual program sponsored by Kauffman Museum on Sunday, Aug. 29, at 3 p.m., will look at how tobacco company advertising has been detrimental to public health.

Over the past century, and even earlier, large tobacco companies have enabled health disparities through the marketing of their addictive, and potentially fatal, products.

That’s the premise of the next Sunday-Afternoon-from-the-Museum program, which will take place via Zoom and Facebook Live.
