Respond to the following questions after reading the article.

1. Jones attributes institutional racism to historical events that  established socioeconomic inequities between Whites and people of color.  Jones does not explicitly state what these "discrete historical events"  are. What are some historical events that might have contributed to  current structural and systemic factors that continue to reinforce  socioeconomic inequity?
2. What kind of racial microaggression do you think Henry Clark might  experience and why? What role could "alternative epidemiology" play in  Richmond's environmental justice efforts?
