After the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, people across the country have taken a hard look at the impact racism is having throughout different communities. One of the areas of greatest concern is the way in which racism affects the health of people of color. To get a better idea of just how serious the problem is, the Wisconsin Medical Journal devoted a special spring issue to the topic.
