This 17 minute Tedtalk on YouTube by Dr. David Williams, was posted on May 2, 2017.
Why does race matter so profoundly for health? David R. Williams developed a scale to measure the impact of discrimination on well-being, going beyond traditional measures like income and education to reveal how factors like implicit bias, residential segregation and negative stereotypes create and sustain inequality. In this eye-opening talk, Williams presents evidence for how racism is producing a rigged system -- and offers hopeful examples of programs across the U.S. that are working to dismantle discrimination.
Dr. David Williams is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation Solidarity Council on Racial Equity member.
