How environmental racism is fuelling the coronavirus pandemic

Description (Dublin Core)

News about the disproportionate death rates among the black community has been unnerving to many people, including myself. Why is this the case? In this article, Harriet Washington explores how environmental racism has contributed to this due to poverty, access to health care, and living conditions, among other factors. White privilege is sweeping, and I have certainly benefited from it in too many ways to name. I think it's important for all white people to use the power of their privilege to lift the voices of marginalized people and advocate for the reforms necessary to ameliorate injustices and inequalities.
