The American Psychological Association issued an apology to people of color on Friday for its role in perpetuating systemic racism and discrimination in the U.S.
“For the first time, APA and American psychology are systematically and intentionally examining, acknowledging and charting a path forward to address their roles in perpetuating racism,” APA President Jennifer Kelly said in a statement.

The resolution was adopted by APA's legislative body, which is made up of its board of directors, APA members representing various states and members who represent ethnic psychological associations.
