Racial violence is an experience shared by residents of Sikeston, Missouri, and many Black Americans. Staying silent in the face of this threat is a survival tradition families have passed down to their children to keep them safe. After host Cara Anthony uncovers details of a police killing in her family, she and psychologist Aiesha Lee discuss the silence that surrounds racism and its effects on health across generations — including the reverberations Anthony and her family live with today.
Hosted by Cara Anthony, a KFF Health News Midwest correspondent and an Edward R. Murrow and National Association of Black Journalists award-winning reporter from East St. Louis, Illinois. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Time magazine, NPR, and other outlets nationwide.
