  Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

  Layal Liverpool

  Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
   
   
   
  The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.

  Twelve Years a Slave

  "They can take your freedom, but they cannot take your identity."
  
  In 1841, Solomon Northup was a professional violinist and family man living in Saratoga Springs, New York. After being lured to Washington D.C. with the promise of work, he was drugged, shackled, and stripped of his name. For the next twelve years, he was passed from master to master in the bayous of Louisiana, enduring the sadistic cruelty of men like Edwin Epps while witnessing the quiet heroism of his fellow enslaved people. Twelve Years a Slave is a visceral, unflinching look at the "peculiar institution" through the eyes of a man who knew both the dignity of liberty and the agony of the lash. It remains a foundational text of American history and a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.
  
  The Mechanics of Oppression: Northup provides a meticulous, almost journalistic description of the economics and daily operations of the slave trade. He details the cultivation of cotton and sugar, the social hierarchies of the plantation, and the psychological warfare used to keep human beings in subjection.
  
  A Quest for Justice: The narrative is propelled by Northup's secret attempts to communicate with his family in the North. His eventual rescue is a heart-stopping moment of tension and triumph, highlighting the legal and social complexities of a divided nation where a man's status as "property" or "person" could depend entirely on the color of his skin and the geography of his location.
  
  Why It Is a Vital Classic: While many narratives were edited to suit political agendas, Northup's account is praised for its stark realism and descriptive power. It provides names, dates, and locations that were later verified by historians, making it one of the most credible and devastating indictments of slavery ever written.
