Racism used to be considered a US public health issue until Nixon interfered

Government officials are rushing to declare racism a public health crisis across the United States. The city council in Austin, Texas made the announcement on Wednesday, officials in Louisville, Kentucky are set to follow suit, and they will join local officials in 19 states who’ve recently recognized racism as a public health issue. Racism was once a standard feature of public health research in the US.
