Fox News
Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation that went into effect Saturday that declares racism a "public health crisis" and establishes a "racial equity working group" in the state.
"For far too long, communities of color in New York have been held back by systemic racism and inequitable treatment," Hochul said in a Dec. 23 press release. "I am proud to sign legislation that addresses this crisis head-on, addressing racism, expanding equity and improving access for all."
