Start Your Day’s Sharon Reed talks to BNC’s Bofta Yimam on the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that declared racism a serious health threat.
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted health inequities for communities of color, according to the U.S.-based health agency.
The CDC will continue to study the impact that racism has on health, use COVID-19 funding to invest in disproportionately impacted communities, and launch a web portal tackling the issue as part of its “ongoing commitment to serve as a catalyst for public and scientific discourse around racism and health and to be accountable for our progress.”
