Dire statistics about birth outcomes for Black people in the U.S. have become front-page news in recent years. But this problem isn't new—in fact, it has roots in the very fabric of American society and health care with structural and systemic racism at its core. Kicking off a series from Public Health in the Field, Rachel Bervell and Annalies Winny explore how and why the nation has come to recognize this crisis in Black maternal health, what it means for health care as a whole, and possible solutions that could benefit the entire field of reproductive health at a challenging time.
