COVID-19 has served to unmask health inequities that have existed for hundreds of years. In a Special Feature article, we look at the impact that COVID-19 has on black communities, using expert opinions and rounding up the available evidence.

Among black people in the United States, deaths from COVID-19 are staggeringly high.
A report that the nonpartisan American Public Media Research Lab issued at the end of May found that while black Americans make up 13% of the population in all the U.S. areas that had released COVID-19 mortality data at that point, they account for 25% of the deaths.
Experts have been saying for years that we need to tackle systemic racism and the toll that it takes on the health of communities of color.
