"White Coats for Black Lives" was formed to stand for racial justice and health equity.

"What we cannot continue to live without is justice. We need justice. When crimes are committed, there needs to be repercussions and that is the only way to get this racism to stop," said medical student Jeremy Ansah-Twum.
