CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE: Former NBA star Norm Nixon gets his blood pressure checked by Dr. Pam Blakley as Dr. Bill Releford, founder of the Black Barbershop Program, looks on, at Inglewood's Finest Barbershop in California. Nixon is helping to launch the First Annual National Barbershop Initiative to address cardiovascular disease in Black men when they visit the barbershop.
