National Academies and TRB Address Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

摘要

The brutal killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more before them, along with the recent violence against peaceful protestors, have focused attention on the terrible legacy of slavery and continuing structural racism in American society. They also have led us, and many others, to reflect deeply on our own efforts to address these issues in society; in science, engineering, and medicine; at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; and at the Transportation Research Board (TRB). These events are having a tremendous impact on many of us-especially our Black and African-American colleagues.
