Overview: Hello and welcome back to the blog! This week’s post addresses racial disparities in health and education, discusses the causes of these disparities, and introduces possible solutions for equitable education and health care.
Note: This post is longer than most, but I feel that the long introduction is necessary to understand the general standing of Minnesota on the topic of race.

Note: This source is one of many that was provided to me through my college courses. I highly encourage any new readers to explore this post because this source provides helpful information to parents and teachers on healthy development. Happy reading!

Overview: Welcome back to the blog! In this post, I will be summarizing key points from “The Quiet Crisis,” a report revealing this crisis, addressing the importance of early life, and introducing four areas of action that need to be taken.
Note: This report was published in 1994, meaning that some of the statistics changed since it was published. However, the changes in statistics reveal that the crisis is getting worse with time, making this report more relevant than ever. Also, this resource is one of many I analyzed during my coursework at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD).
