In @chadwickboseman’s passing we highlight tragic truth for Black ppl.

Did you know that Blacks have higher death rates & die at younger ages for MOST cancers including colon, lung, prostate, and breast cancer? His death isn’t uncommon so when we scream #BLM we mean this, too.
Black ppl have higher death rates for 9 of 15 leading causes of death. Less preventative care measures are offered/taken, modalities of detection/treatment differ, the influence of implicit/explicit bias in healthcare & impact of environmental racism can’t be ignored #ReformItAll
So my beautiful Black people, get your #Colonoscopies, #Mammograms, #ProstateExams, yearly checkups. Support policies that fight #EnvironmentalRacism so we can have #CleanAirAndWater, demand #HealthyFood in our neighborhood. #OurLivesMatter #BLM
