Abstract
Black people in the United States (U.S.) are dying at disproportionate rates from the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) virus, which causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Age-adjusted COVID-19 mortality rates for Black people are 2.8 times higher than White people (Prevention & (CDC). 2020). Black people are at higher risk for COVID-19 due to social factors, (i.e., structural racism and its manifestations including mortgage redlining, employment discrimination, healthcare provider bias, etc.), the politicization of COVID-19, and poor access to testing facilities (Poteat, Millett, Nelson, & Beyrer, 2020; Williams & Cooper, 2020).
