    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) organization provides information on various
    health risks and potential solutions in the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
    Promotion. The CDC gathered statistics to visualize the discrepancies among African Americans and
    whites. They found that high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes were more prevalent in African
    Americans than whites. African Americans were also more likely to die at early ages than white
    Americans. The accountable risk factors for disease and death (i.e., poverty, access to doctors) were
    higher in African Americans. The racial health information is provided by the Behavioral risk factor
    surveillance system, a United States health-related telephone survey established in 1984. The CDC
    editors combined the survey statistics with The US National Vital Statistics System and other US census
    bureaus. The CDC uses this source to attract any literate American with social media to allow readers to
    understand and promote wellness in their communities. (JC)

    Journal of Rural Health. https://doi.org/10.1111/jrh.12459
    This article uses the historical disparities to explain the modern-day issues associated with COVID-19 and
    African Americans. There is a disproportion in how COVID-19 has affected African Americans. There are
    national hospital and census reports used to analyze the social determinants, comorbidities, and genetic
    differences African Americans endure during the pandemic. African Americans have high exposure jobs,
    higher hospitalization, and poverty rate than the other reported races. The predominantly African
    American rural areas have less access to tests and treatments for COVID-19 than other populations in
    the United States. There are high risks of COVID-19 for African American communities. Both authors
    have medical degrees and have accredited references to support their points. This paper seeks to inform
    higher-educated scholars, medical professionals, and researchers. (JC)
