CDC director says racism is ‘serious public health threat’
| The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday declared racism a “serious public health threat,” becoming the largest federal agency to do so.
“Confronting the impact of racism will not be easy,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement published on the agency’s website. “I know that we can do this if we work together. I certainly hope you will lean in and join me.” |
