SAN ANTONIO – Declaring racism a public health crisis in August was an important move for the City of San Antonio as people of color make up more than 75% of the city’s population. Tramelle Jones has lived in San Antonio for more than 30 years and is among those who believe the time for action is now. The resolution passed by the San Antonio City Council doesn’t make immediate changes or specify how they will be made. Another resident, Glo Armmer, has lived in San Antonio her whole life. “We know that racism has an impact on individual health for certain, and when you think collectively, it’s public health,” she said.
