Why Focus on Racism? ��'
. Racism in the U.S. has left a legacy of
inequities in health,education, housing,
employment,income,wealth&other areas
that impact achievement and quality of life.
• When people face barriers to achieving their
full potential,it is a burden not only for them,
but for communities,businesses,
governments and the economy as a whole.
• Racism is one of the barriers to achieving our
goal of Inclusion.

white issue,it reinforces and sustains
multiple forms of oppression
