 THE EVENT\n\nAs the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape our world and 
 challenge our public health responses, people of color in America remain 
 disproportionately affected by the virus, getting sick and dying at higher 
 rates than others. \n\nAs a CDC epidemiologist Camara Jones observed, 
 “This disease is not an equal opportunity disease.” At the same time, 
 in the midst of the pandemic, an urgent demand for racial justice has 
 emerged and a focused effort to keep communities of color safe from police 
 brutality and other effects of institutionalized racism.\n\nThere are few 
 people who could discuss the convergence of these issues with as much 
 insight as America’s preeminent civil rights leader Rev. Dr. William J. 
 Barber II, and his two daughters—social epidemiologist Dr. Sharrelle 
 Barber and public policy master’s student and fellow at the Institute for 
 Southern Studies Rebekah Barber. \n\nThey will join "Mother Jones" reporter 
 and columnist Nathalie Baptiste to discuss this crucial moment in our 
 history: America’s reckoning for racial justice, how the COVID-19 
 pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color, and, as we 
 enter a new year and a new presidential administration, what we must do to 
 continue the fight for justice, health, and safety for communities of 
 color. \n\nAre we facing an opportunity to change our society for the 
 better, once and for all, or are the barriers still too 
 intractable?\n__________________________________________________________\n\n
