Presenter(s):
Carol McGruder, Co-Chair, African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council 

Description: 
This presentation is part of the 16th Annual MLK Health Equity Celebration. The public health fight against the Tobacco Industry has always been a David and Goliath battle but never more so than for African Americans. The relentless and pernicious Tobacco Industry targeting of the Black community with mentholated cigarettes combined with the benign neglect of the very institutions charged with their protection culminate in 45,000 Black deaths each year from tobacco-induced diseases. 

Learning Outcome:
At the conclusion of this learning activity, (at least 75% of) participants will be able to discuss race-based medicine through the presentation of one example of racism in medicine, in order to provide a background for the necessary improvement of best practice to better address the overall problem of discrimination in healthcare.
