Dr. Linda Murray on racism affecting US healthcare; 1979

Dr. Linda Murray, speaking in 1979 while working at Cook County hospital in Illinois, on how she feels racism has meant worse healthcare for non-white US citizens: "The government figures are very clear. Hypertension is 60 times higher among non-whites than whites. Heart attacks are 3 times higher among non-whites than whites. Strokes are 3 times higher, you can go right down the list...When you ask yourself why this happens, what racism means, this is one area where it is clear to see what it means." (LGFD729X - AEVZ001J)
