How do African Americans experience discrimination in daily life? A soon-to-be-released poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will illuminate reports from African Americans who share their personal experiences with discrimination. With unprecedented documentation, the poll will cover a range of areas — from police interaction, to job applications, to health care, to racial slurs. This Forum will explore the poll results and their implications for a healthier, more equitable, and just society.
This poll will be the first among a series of reports that surveyed additional groups, including Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, men, women, and LGBTQ adults, on their experiences with discrimination.
Part of: Policy Controversies.
