This book focuses on the health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial equity. It does not simply document the problems made worse by the pandemic, but it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, and policy responses to those issues.
