Toward an equitable society: building a culture of antiracism in health care

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In the late spring of 2020, outcry about the brutal killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor led to widespread protests by diverse groups in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and demands to end police brutality.These uprisings generated unprecedented corporate and institutional acknowledgments of solidarity.In the health care setting, thousands of providers across the United States knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds during "White Coats for Black Lives" demonstrations, and many institutions issued public statements denouncing racism.
