Are you learning more about systemic racism, but unsure just how we goto to where we are today? Are you confused about terms such as 'redlining' and how it plays a role in systemic racism? Do you find yourself wondering why Black neighborhoods often have disproportionate amounts of poverty (and maybe find yourself thinking it's because of something inherent in Black people)?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews
Dr. Susan Rogers, a General Internist from Chicago who spent her career serving the patients at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, and who has spent her life as an activist against racism. Dr. Rogers shares her experiences as a Black woman in the medical field, and she discusses the predatory policies that have perpetuated systemic racism in our country.
Here are some articles Dr. Rogers shared:
"race, ethnicity and lung function: a brief history", by Lundy Braun PhD
"The Enduring Solidarity of Whiteness" TA-NEHISI COATES, The Atlantic, FEBRUARY 8, 2016.
