After reviewing the previous resources and tools that focus heavily on the racial and ethnic health disparities that have been exacerbated during COVID-19it is vital to understand that health disparities are a longstanding issue that has existed across and within systems.

- System justification
- Educational survival complex
- Spirit murdering
- Health disparities among children
- Critical race theory
- White supremacy
- The power of language
