Show Notes
Until now, the focus of this podcast has been on COVID-19. Today, we are broadening the podcast to cover other urgent public health issues starting with racism, police violence, and the national protests over the homicide of George Floyd. Dr. Josh Sharfstein talks with Baltimore author, artist, and activist Chris Wilson about his experiences both in and out of the prison system, his reflections on "unstacking the deck" against people of color, and the role of art in healing, documenting, and storytelling during galvanizing moments.
