Black Los Angeles Makes Demands in Light of COVID-19 and Rates of Black Death

Sentinel News WireApril 16, 2020

In response to community pressure, last week, Los Angeles County released initial racial data on who is contracting and dying from COVID-19.

While trillions of dollars are being spent on the crisis and there is no shortage of local, state, and federal initiatives, resources are not being directed to meet the particular needs of the Black community. The disproportionate and deadly impact of COVID-19 on the Black community magnifies what we have known, that “underlying conditions” result from an enduring system of racial apartheid and oppression.
