In this commentary, we discuss our experiences as women of different races growing up in the same rural area and how these experiences relate to health and health policy. Despite nearly five million Black people living in nonmetro areas, rural Black Americans face erasure in the rural narrative and the policies enacted to support them. This is detrimental to the overall uplifting of rural communities and to the elimination of the compounded disparities of being rural and Black. We aim to bring to life rural America for Black and White residents and the impact of the policies that shape it.
在这篇评论中，我们讲述了在同一农村地区成长的不同种族女性的经历，以及这些经历与健康和卫生政策的关系。尽管有近500万黑人生活在非都市地区，但美国农村黑人在农村叙事以及为支持他们而制定的政策中面临被忽视的情况。这不利于农村社区的整体发展，也不利于消除农村和黑人身份叠加所带来的差距。我们旨在展现美国农村对黑人和白人居民的真实面貌，以及塑造它的政策所产生的影响。
