them.00:32:29.982 --> 00:32:34.606If you map out vacant lots,violent crime rates,00:32:34.606 --> 00:32:38.315diabetes, breast cancer,00:32:38.315 --> 00:32:40.439and on and on and on00:32:40.439 --> 00:32:45.439and so map after map after mapshows the distribution00:32:45.439 --> 00:32:48.107of the highestmortality and morbidity00:32:48.107 --> 00:32:50.107throughout the city.00:32:50.523 --> 00:32:54.399- Let me be really clear.Racism is not a disaster.00:32:54.399 --> 00:32:56.898It's somethingthat human beings invented00:32:56.898 --> 00:32:59.023and created and keep healthy.00:32:59.023 --> 00:33:01.857Segregation is somethinghuman beings invented,00:33:01.857 --> 00:33:05.274specific human beings,for specific purposes.00:33:05.274 --> 00:33:08.399The health inequitiesthat exist are not accidents.00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:10.648They're created by people.00:33:11.773 --> 00:33:14.606- So the slow-motion disasterin Chicago00:33:14.606 --> 00:33:17.439was the direct resultof public policies00:33:17.439 --> 00:33:21.274that effectively dividedthe city into haves00:33:21.274 --> 00:33:22.439and have-nots.00:33:22.439 --> 00:33:26.439And it was precisely theselife-and-death inequalities00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:30.399that motivated Dr. Whitmanto step down from his post00:33:30.399 --> 00:33:33.190as the city'schief epidemiologist00:33:33.190 -->

Chicago,00:34:12.439 --> 00:34:13.523it was 65 years.00:34:13.523 --> 00:34:17.39916 years' differencein life expectancy,00:34:17.399 --> 00:34:20.274and you could walk fromone community to the
