Almost 3 million people worldwide have fallen victim to COVD-19. More than 540,000 have died in the United States. While the pandemic affects everyone it disproportionately harms black communities.
Racial inequality in medical care, wealth, employment, housing, and incarceration all impact death and infection rates. African Americans have more underlying conditions and less access to health care than white Americans. Black workers bore the brunt of coronavirus layoffs and those still working risk their lives to make ends meet. Even the ability to practice social distancing depends on race, class, and zip code.
Meanwhile, police violence continues to run amok. Amid the deadliest pandemic in over a century, protesters have taken to the streets to challenge legacies of racial injustice.
