Summary
The rates at which Black people, disabled people, and disabled Black people have borne the brunt of suffering and death in the COVID-19 pandemic have made structural inequities visible. They also drive home the need to pay attention to and think more comprehensively about the lives of people who are both Black and disabled, who live at the intersectionality of race and disability: How are their experiences of the world different from and similar to those of nondisabled Black people and disabled White people?
