About Time

Hooray. A program in Atlanta (see article) is aimed at helping black men improve their health. According to the article, black men “have the lowest life expectancy of any group in the country.” That is 69.2 years, and that is a shame. We should have more programs like the one in Atlanta, and they need to be around for a long time, because they have a big job to do changing the inequities that exist in the health of blacks in this country.
