Health Awareness During Black History Month.
How has black history affected today’s health of black men?
The health of black men consistently ranks the lowest across the United States.
How did repressive laws cause poor health amongst black men?
Some black men are mentally suppressed by past “Jim Crow” laws. Within the community I was personally raised in, some of us thought Jim Crow was an actual person.
Do you know where the name “Jim Crow” originated from? After hearing this episode, you may never want to mimic or make fun of people with a speech impediment or people who have a lack of education.
*Disclosure: I am not mocking the grammar of our ancestors, I act out what I’m reading to help listeners connect with the lack of education African Americans experienced.
Lack of education and fear leads to poor health.
