A new digital video series, “Black Menace:  Survival Steps to Beat COVID-19 for African Americans,” will be streamed live to educate African Americans and create awareness. Register now to watch the live stream.

Why black menace?

Because Black Americans are dying of Covid-19 at three times the rate of white people.

New figures compiled by the non-partisan APM Research Lab under the title Color of Coronavirus provide further evidence of the staggering divide in the Covid-19 death rate between black Americans and the rest of the nation.

Across the country, African Americans have died at a rate of 50.3 per 100,000 people, compared with 20.7 for whites, 22.9 for Latinos and 22.7 for Asian Americans.
