Black Americans experience 1.63 million excess deaths compared to white Americans over 22 years. This is due to a number of factors, including systemic racism, lack of access to healthcare, and environmental injustice.
Black people shoulder a great burden of grief, which can undermine their mental and physical health, said Khaliah Johnson, chief of pediatric palliative care at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Given the high mortality rates throughout the life span, Black people areto be grieving the death of a close family member at any point in their lives.
Johnson’s parents lost two sons — one who died a few days after birth and another who died as a toddler. In an essay, Johnson recalled, “My parents asked themselves on numerous occasions, ‘Would the outcomes for our sons have been different, might they have received different care and lived, had they not been Black?’”
