Mashup Score: 6Racism is a public health issue. Here's why : Short Wave - 7 day(s) ago
Racism is often covered as a political, cultural, or news story. But how is it affecting people’s health? That’s the question Cara Anthony, a KFF News reporter, wanted to answer: not just on an individual scale, but on a community-wide one. So for the past few years, she’s been reporting on a small town in the Midwest that illustrates that health issue: Sikeston, Missouri. Today on the show, Cara walks host Emily Kwong through Sikeston’s history — and what locals and medical experts have to say about how that history continues to shape the present. For more of Cara’s reporting, you can check out KFF Health News’ documentary and four-part podcast series, Silence in Sikeston.
