One of the first things the new first selectman of the town of Colchester did after winning the office this month was to reverse his predecessor’s deeming of racism as a public health crisis.
Earlier this week, I invited Republican Andreas Bisbikos on the show to talk about his thought process. I have not received any response.
So, instead, I invited the Director of Policy for Health Equity Solutions here in Connecticut, Karen Siegel, on to "All Things Considered."
Her organization has advocated for designating racism a public health crisis.
She shares her thoughts on the concept as well as on the rebuke of the concept in Colchester.
