We’re Addressing Systemic Racism at The Root

We are actively developing and implementing strategies to address the issues caused by systemic racism. We desire to attain racial equity for all people within all institutional systems. Starting with the immediate needs of Black communities to counter the long-term impact of racial discrimination from slavery and Jim Crow.

  • Racially-Induced Trauma

    Racially-induced trauma is the psychological and emotional harm that individuals experience as a result of encountering racism or racial discrimination. This trauma manifests through psychological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, emotional responses such as anger and sadness, and physical symptoms including insomnia and headaches, all stemming from the chronic stress of facing racism
