The police killing of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri showed that despite the gains of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, racism remains deeply entrenched in US society and in fact, is a problem in many other countries as well. Cody Weddle interviews Orlando Romero Harrington, communications director at the Latin American School of Medicine in Caracas, home to a multi-national study body, about his analysis of the events in the United States, his take on race relations in Venezuela and at the medical school, and his views on the overall problem of racism. teleSUR
