LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) The La Crosse County Board passed a resolution nearly unanimously Tuesday declaring “Racism as a Public Health Crisis,” including several actions to enable the resolution.
Cornforth described the resolution as “an important step in the movement to racial equality.”
During discussion of the resolution’s merits, board member Kim Cable said, “I find it ironic that we are a board of white people discussing this systemic racism. We certainly should, and we should listen to those people of color.”
