X-WR-CALDESC:Canaries in the Coal Mine provides a close look at the impacts
  of health disparities among diverse racial/ethnic groups in the US and ho
 w these affect COVID-19 illness and deaths today. We will examine the hist
 orical and contemporary factors that created and maintain shockingly wide 
 – and often lethal – gaps in health and healthcare.\n\nThese factors inclu
 de the racial wealth gaps\, poverty\, food deserts\, and environmental pol
 lution that result from residential segregation. Such stressful conditions
  contribute to higher rates of heart and lung diseases\, diabetes and obes
 ity in the African American and other marginalized communities\, leading t
 o more severe illness and much higher death rates from COVID-19. The avail
 ability and quality of medical care is seriously affected by two additiona
 l factors: the well-researched unconscious bias within the predominantly w
 hite medical community and distrust\, particularly within the black commun
 ity\, based on historical mistreatment\, including experimentation on the 
 enslaved\, the historical desecration of graves for medical cadavers\, and
  the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Finally\, we look at the criti
 cal urgency of correcting these disparities to improve the health of the e
 ntire US public – during the current pandemic and beyond.\n\nWhat are cana
 ries in the coal mine? It’s a saying that refers to the caged canary birds
  that miners used to carry. If dangerous gases like carbon monoxide collec
 ted in the mine\, these would kill the canaries before killing the miners\
 , thus providing a warning to exit the mines immediately.\n\nCanaries in t
 he Coal Mine is presented by Reggie Jackson\, a much sought-after speaker 
 and writers for over a decade. Reggie specializes in sharing seldom-told s
 tories and facts about the experiences of African-Americans and other peop
 les of color\, past and present. He is a Co-Founder and Lead Trainer/Consu
 ltant for Nurturing Diversity Partners\, a consulting firm that fosters di
 versity\, inclusion\, and equity within institutions and communities.\n\nC
 anaries in the Coal Mine is sponsored by Community Advocates Public Policy
  Institute\, which works toward preventing and reducing poverty while impr
 oving the quality of life for individuals and families in Milwaukee and th
 roughout Wisconsin.\n\nThis presentation will be hosted on Zoom. Space is
