But getting there is no simple task. The public outrage and social unrest that followed the events of 2020 have exposed harsh, undeniable truths about the human condition in our nation and, in particular, the Black American community.

Now more than ever, special attention must be paid to disparities, inequities, and concerns that challenge and compromise the physical, emotional, and social well-being of Black Americans. Why did Black Health Facts launch on Juneteenth a commemoration of the abolition of slavery in this country This historic date signifies many things: emancipation, freedom, justice, and liberty. It’s about awakening to ugly truths, reckoning with injustice, and trying to right unimaginable wrongs.

But it’s also a celebration — and now a federal holiday — of the history and culture of a people who, largely through resilience, have managed to find joy in spite of a great deal of oppression and hardship. Juneteenth 2022 comes just over a month after another atrocity perpetrated against Black Americans: On May 14, in a racism-fueled domestic terror attack at the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, 10 Black people were targeted and killed by an 18-year-old white supremacist. Longtime residents of the town, including an 86-year-old wife, mother, and grandmother and a 32-year-old known for her kindness and smile, senselessly and suddenly lost their lives because of hate.

Black Americans experience uneven access to healthcare, gaps in insurance coverage, and lower quality of care. They are underrepresented in medical research studies and clinical trials. Education and employment — areas in which they tend to have fewer advantages — as well as food insecurity, are all social determinants of health.
