"The Disparity Is Clear": MI Task Force To Address Disproportionate Impact Of COVID-19 On Blacks


The number of coronavirus cases in Michigan has surpassed 50,000, with 497 new cases confirmed on Thursday.

The outbreak remains the worst in and around Detroit where African Americans make up nearly 80% of the population.

The first Black Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, Garlin Gilchrist has created a task force to tackle the racial disparities as a result of social inequalities in cities like Detroit and Flint.

Gilchrist spoke with Roland Martin on Friday about the task force and about the anti-lockdown protesters attempting to intimidate lawmakers.
