From the National Urban League, For The Movement discusses persistent policy, social, and civil rights issues affecting communities of color. Discussed In This Episode: State of Black Health: The ability to garner quality health care and quality health care solutions has not always been an option for those in the African American community. Now more than ever, one must challenge the status quo, fight against myths, stigma, shame and the ever daunting statistics related to African Americans to ensure they get the support, treatment and care they expect and need. Lisa Goler examines the root causes and social determinants of health while also offering promising health strategies that will help you, your family and your communities bring quality health care solutions within reach to all.
