Health disparities have been researched and reported on for decades, with little action being taken to address the root causes, including racism and the resulting impact on social determinants of health (Egede & Walker, 2020; Hardeman & Karbeah, 2020) . Racism and xenophobia have significantly impacted the health and wellness of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in the United States, resulting in adverse social determinants of health and health outcomes. In the October Special Issue on Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity of Teaching and Learning in Nursing, Gravens and Goldfarb (2020) wrote about reaffirming our commitment to a nursing social mission. I hope that the nurse educators who are reading this editorial will commit to learning about and integrating public health issues, social determinants of health, social justice, and racism in their curricula and teaching. ./cache/cord-033769-kvi5k51d.txt ./txt/cord-033769-kvi5k51d.txt
