Starting with a Juneteenth celebration in Sikeston, Missouri; a chat with a confident, outspoken teen; and an uncommonly frank interview with the police chief, host Cara Anthony searches for what it will take to stop racism from making Black people sick. Health equity expert Gail Christopher says the answer is community-level, institutional change and shares the possibility of healing through health policy.
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.
