Recent Black deaths at the hands of law enforcement officers has heightened awareness of racism within the United States. The consequences of this racism are not only differential policing practices toward Black people, but also inequities related to numerous other sectors, including housing, education, economics, and overt health care disparities between White and non-White Americans. Health care practitioners, including pharmacists, are extremely well positioned to be leaders in addressing long-standing inequities, thereby saving lives and improving access to and quality of care. The views of two senior faculty administrators are outlined: one, a White faculty member of privilege, the other, a Black CEO Dean. Despite having very different life experiences, they partner to foster unity and an antiracist culture within their institution and among their many stakeholders, with the ultimate goal of creating a culture of equity regardless of skin color.
最近美国执法人员杀害黑人事件引起了人们对美国国内种族主义的关注。这种种族主义的后果不仅表现在针对黑人的不同警务做法上，还表现在住房、教育、经济等众多其他领域的不平等，以及白人和非白人美国人在医疗保健方面的明显差距。包括药剂师在内的医疗保健从业者处于非常有利的地位，可以成为解决长期存在的不平等问题的领导者，从而拯救生命，改善医疗服务的可及性和质量。本文概述了两位资深教职员工管理人员的观点：一位是享有特权的白人教员，另一位是黑人首席执行官院长。尽管他们有着非常不同的生活经历，但他们合作在他们的机构内以及他们的许多利益相关者中培养团结和反种族主义文化，最终目标是创建一种不论肤色的公平文化。
