    S2E5: Racism & Community-driven Change

    In Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “What is your life's blueprint?” speech, he says to young people who may face limitations, “But we must keep moving. We must keep going.” In this episode, we talk with the head of a 140-year-old community organization, a public health researcher, and the artistic director of the historic Penumbra Theater about what drives them and their work challenging centuries of segregating color, power, and opportunity in this country.

    S2E4: Racism & Public Health: Tuskegee to COVID-19

    The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service, casts a long shadow over the Black community when it comes to eroding trust in the healthcare system. Adding to this distrust are the obvious health inequities Black, Indigenous, and people of color experience, including disproportionate death rates from COVID-19. In this episode, we explore the role of public health in building back trust and improving health with these communities.

    S2 E3: Race & Incarceration

    A Black boy in the U.S. has a nearly 1-in-3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime. For a white boy, it’s roughly 1 in 23. Some believe the “cradle-to-prison pipeline” for Black men is a forgone conclusion; others push back. What’s undeniable is that going to prison has a devastating impact on the health of individuals and their families. In this episode, we explore how to change the incarceration trajectory for Black youth and increase opportunities for health.

    S2 E2: Race & Real Estate: Strategic Segregation

    Where we live is intimately linked to our health — the life expectancy of a child born in a poor neighborhood can be 20 to 30 years shorter than a child born in an upscale neighborhood just a few miles away. For decades, we have used practices and policies for “strategic segregation,” concentrating poverty and people of color in the most unhealthy areas of a city. In this episode, we explore this legacy and how we can create better opportunities for housing and health.

    S2 E1: Flashpoint

    George Floyd’s murder was one blow too many in a 400-year history of callous and inhumane treatment of Black Americans. It sparked international outrage and to date, roughly 130 U.S. states, cities, and counties have declared racism a public health emergency. But what does an emergency really mean for an injustice that has been ongoing for centuries? That’s what we explore in this first episode of our new series.
