In this July 2014 file photo, Esaw Garner, center, wife of Eric Garner, breaks down in the arms of Rev. Herbert Daughtry and Rev. Al Sharpton, right, during a rally at the National Action Network headquarters for Eric Garner on July 19, 2014, in New York. Garner, 43, died during an arrest in Staten Island, when a plain-clothes police officer placed him in what appeared to be a chokehold while several others brought him to the ground and struggled to place him in handcuffs. A new study sheds light on the health impacts of racism on African Americans, including poorer sleep after police shooting of unarmed Black people.
