Carlos Thomas is a young African American Male, vying for a position on the Pittsburgh Public School Board.  His platform/contribution will be to add healthy food meals to the districts lunch menu.  He believes our ability to focus and concentrate is directly tied to the foods we ingest for fuel and energy.  Listen in to our Social Media Conversation with Carlos.

‘If America catches a cold, black folks get pneumonia' is a common phrase in the African-American community, and we have seen the suffering during Covid fall disproportionately on communities of color. Thirty years ago, Dr. Scott Cook wrote his thesis on “The Public Health Implications of Institutional Racism and how it Affects the Health of African American Males”. He was given some pushback on the topic at the time. Homicide, gun violence, and alcohol/drug dependence just then being understood as public health crises. Today, climate and environmental dangers, housing issues, nutrition, trauma, and poverty can be added to the growing list of forces that are associated with poor health outcomes. Dr. Cook, a physician, international lecturer on racism and health disparities, as well as an addiction specialist, has spent much of his medical career identifying, studying, and attempting to remedy these social determinants of health. If racism = prejudice + power, we have a long road ahead of us in our work as a society to achieve health equity, diversity, inclusion as well as recruitment and retention in medicine among people of color. Join Paul for his conversation with Dr. Cook as they explore these facets of the American medical system, and how we continue to attempt and fail at making medicine— both an art and science— more equitable and just. What are the best ways to improve experience and outcomes? This frank and personal discussion, with a prominent and vocal agent of change, yields many insights and prescriptions for how we can and must do better.

The purpose of this study was to observe the natural behavior of untreated syphilis.In a racially charged move, the government only recruited African-American men in the study by lying to them that they were receiving free health care from the Federal government.This was one of the defining moments of racial undertones between the government and the African American community.Support the show (https://cash.app/$Shumba)

US has 5 percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's prisoners. In this episode, we speak about the Netflix Documentary, 13th, which explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans. The documentary shows how the adoption of the 13th Amendment transitioned African Americans from being enslaved in the past to a new age slavery due to a loophole that abolished slavery for everyone except criminals.
