Baltimore County needs a forward-thinking and comprehensive strategy to uplift communities such as Randallstown, Woodlawn, Windsor Mill, Winters Lane, Campfield, East Towson, Overlea, Owings Mills, Rosedale, Lochearn, and Turners Station. This strategy must confront and dismantle structural racism.
Structural racism is an extensive system of racial bias that permeates institutions and society, granting privileges to White people while disadvantaging people of color. Recognizing the deep-rooted nature of racism in various social structures and its enduring impacts is vital to the anti-racist efforts aimed at breaking down these barriers.
