The reality of systematic racism is under a spotlight these days. Many people around the United States and the world are making an effort to come to terms with its legacy. On some level, many white people do not or cannot feel that reality. For people of color, the wounds and the trauma are deep and enduring.
For white allies, standing up to dismantle racist systems takes developing empathy and doing work to understand and make change. In this episode, we hear from two men who share their experience of confronting the traumatic heritage of racism.
Dr. Benjamin Danielson is a pediatrician, health care leader, and clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington. Late last year, Danielson resigned as medical director of the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic, a branch of Seattle Children’s Hospital. He cited issues of institutional racism, which he addresses here. The subject of Danielson’s talk was Generations of Trauma and Child Well-Being Today.

I have informally interviewed many black Americans and I will say there exists systemic racism in this country. It makes me mad and sad.

MAJ Ken Landgren I was Raised in a More Ethnically Culturally Diverse Neighborhood at the Time College Hill Cincinnati, German, Irish, Black. Now where I make My Home? Now I Live in Prairie Village and I rather Love the Diversity Here. More than a Little Asian Influence in My Apartment Complex. For a Pacific Northwest Sailor, I Feel Right at Home.
