Why is the constant killing of black men by police not a Public Health issue? What stands in the way of looking at and acting on something through a Public Health framework? In this lecture, Mohan Ambikaipaker, PhD, addresses the barriers that keep current institutional and structural racism from being addressed as a Public Health crisis.
