“ I ’ m grateful that Florida State continues to support the Black Lives Matter movement , encourage students to speak up , create safe spaces and discussions about racism / bias in health care . … I hope we eventually reach a point in society where talking about race and inequalities doesn ’ t require a spotlight or a special feature in a magazine , but instead it will be ingrained in our conversations .
