Option 1

 * Article title: Race and Health
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to my topic because it generally talks about racism in the health care field and addresses how African Americans were affected. There is a brief section that talks about racism towards African Americans so it would be good to add another section. Some sources are reliable but adding more citations after each claim is definitely needed. The does talk about how racism has been an issue in healthcare in many different ways. Adding more information and citations will be needed. Potential topics could be about specific treatments that have not been performed on African American patients.

Option 2

 * Article title: Race and health in united states

 * This article specifically has a section where it talks about African Americans and how healthcare has affected them.

This article has many citations. It does talk about numerous issues within the the healthcare field and how that has affected different races.

Option 3

 * Article title: Health Equity :
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article talks about racial disparities African Americans faced. Adding more citations and adding a section to it with more information about how receiving treatment and care was very difficult for them. Potential topics about how care differed for White Americans and Black Americans will be beneficial for the text. This article has a lot of sections and is very informative on healthy equity and how it affects different groups of people. It talks about groups that are not really written about which is good. It is also written neutrally simply for educational purposes. :

Option 4

 * Article title: Racism in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article relates to my topic of racism towards African Americans. It does not fully dive into the healthcare aspect of it. Adding a section talking about how healthcare affected African Americans in different time frames will be beneficial. There are citations and photos provided. Talking about how racism and unequal treatment in the hospitals took a toll on them and created prejudice views in the hospital and healthcare settings.
