Systemic racism is a public health crisis.

[Ellen MacKenzie @EllenJMacKenzie]

The profound impact of racism on life and death demands a full response from every part of our society, including—and especially—our field of public health.

Earlier tonight, @LisaCooperMD and I shared this message with our @JohnsHopkinsSPH community.

It's a privilege to learn about
racism instead of experiencing
it your whole life.

[Black Medical Students’ Association at U of T @UofTBMSA]

2016: 1 Black med student entered U of T. Raising our voice led to increased representation in subsequent years.

2020: 60+ Black med students representing all 17 med schools in Canada came together for our first national meeting.

This is truly our ancestors’ wildest dreams.
