The resolution was passed by a new council that plans to study and address racial disparities in the city.
"This is a first great step, but it is a beginning," Virginia Caine, director and chief medical officer of the Marion County Public Health Department, told councilors on Monday."And I'm looking forward to the city council to come back with some concrete recommendations that can really help address this issue. Not just the symptoms, but how do we get to it systemically.
"I want to clarify again that the racial disparities and the racism that we find most prevalent in this country is not about Hispanic or Latinos, and I know they do experience it as well, but the prevalent racism is with black communities," he said."And I don't want to lessen that or I don't want to soften that."
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett expressed support for the resolution earlier on Monday, saying that racism was indeed a public health crisis for the city.
