3. W.E.B. DuBoise “ THE GENERAL OPINION IS THAT THE DEATH RATE OF NEGROES is higher in the North than in the South. This is untrue. The crude death rates of the Negroes in the Northern cities are lower than those in the Southern cities. . . of the large cities, the eight highest death rates are Southern cities—Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, Richmond, Norfolk, Nashville, St. Louis and Atlanta. Thirty deaths per 1,000 seems to be the dividing line between the Northern cities and the Southern, most of the Southern cities having a rate above 30, while most of the Northern cities have a rate below 30.” May 29, 1906

6. Structural Racism Structural Racism/Racialization The word “racism” is commonly understood to refer to instances in which one individual intentionally or unintentionally targets others for negative treatment because of their skin color or other group-based physical characteristics. This individualistic conceptualization is too limited. Racialized outcomes do not require racist actors. Structural racism/racialization refers to a system of social structures that produces cumulative, durable, race-based inequalities. It is also a method of analysis that is used to examine how historical legacies, individuals, structures, and institutions work interactively to distribute material and symbolic advantages and disadvantages along racial lines.

Virchow May the rich remember during the winter, when they sit in front of their hot stoves and give Christmas apples to their little ones, that the shiphands who brought the coal and the apples died from cholera. It is so sad that thousands always must die in misery, so that a few hundred may live well. - Rudolf Virchow, Werk und Wirkung (Berlin: Rütten & Loenig, 1957), p. 110

From 1892 to 1894, DuBois traveled in Germany and completed a monograph on the history of southern US agriculture. In 1896, the University of Pennsylvania invited him to conduct a detailed sociological study of African Americans in Philadelphia, which was published in 1899 as The Philadelphia Negro.2 This study combined advocacy and careful empirical scholarship, emphasizing historical and circumstantial rather than hereditary explanations for the conditions of the African American community.DuBois had long been committed to social reform by means of social science. But he now became more directly engaged in advocacy and political action, especially in response to the rising tide of southern racial violence. He helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909, and in 1910 he left Atlanta to become an officer of the NAACP, its only Black board member, and the editor of its monthly magazine, the Crisis.

My father learned from his clients that speculators were buying properties from whites at close to market value, and then selling them to blacks “on contract” at double to quadruple market value. Just as shocking were the terms of these sales. Contract buyers made down payments and were responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance. But if a contract buyer missed even one payment, the seller was free to evict the buyer – and keep everything the buyer had invested to that point. The profits to the speculators were stunning. For example, one of my father’s clients bought a building for $9,950, from a speculator who had recently purchased it for $3500. His client had paid off $8,500 of that debt – plus another $2300 in improvements – when he was evicted. Approximately 85% of properties sold to black Chicagoans were sold “on contract” – and there were close to a million blacks in Chicago by the early 1960s. In 1958, my father charged that speculators were draining Chicago’s black community of $1 million dollars a day, and the evidence I’ve turned up supports his estimate. (Satter, p. 99)
February 16, 2011 01:09 PM Eastern Time SAN FRANCISCO--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), the eighth largest health system in the nation, today made its groundbreaking Community Need Index™ (CNI) available online at www.chwHEALTH.org/cni . The CNI is a powerful resource for public health planning that is being used by health care and community organizations nationwide to assess community need and strategically allocate resources. “ Tens of thousands of people are admitted to our hospitals every year for conditions that, if properly treated in a primary care or community clinic setting, should not progress to the stage where hospitalization is needed”
