Comments My name is Jessica Camacho, pm running for San Bernardino County Board of
Education Area C. As an educator, as a historian, as an anti -racist individual, I know that
white supremacy has infiltrated, if not entirely shaped systems --this includes public systems
such as education. Racism is a public health crisis because racism has created generational
trauma, has ensured generational poverty, and has stifled opportunity for generations --all of
which determine health outcomes. It is imperative that San Bernardino follow the lead and
example of others across this country in recognizing and tackling the real consequences of
racism on an individual and institutional level. Thank you.
