Summary
The Coronavirus Pandemic: Serious Impacts on Minority Communities in U.S. Cities
Presented jointly with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR
Wednesday, September 30, 2020
Months into the coronavirus pandemic, we can begin to measure the devastating impact on Americans. From crippling financial blows to deaths and illnesses, Americans are foundering. And no groups have been more affected than minority communities, who were already disproportionately burdened by wage gaps and chronic illnesses before the pandemic. This Forum examined these differences and considered approaches in the next six months that could help minority communities. As background, The Forum drew on results from a recent poll, The Impact of Coronavirus on Households Across America, conducted by NPR, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Harvard Chan School.
