Emerging statistics demonstrate that COVID-19 disproportionately affects African
Americans. The effects of COVID-19 for this population are inextricably linked to
areas of systemic oppression and disenfranchisement, which are exacerbated by
COVID-19: (1) health care inequality; (2) segregation, overall health, and food
insecurity; (3) underrepresentation in government and the medical profession; and
(4) inequalities in participatory democracy and public engagement. Following a
discussion of these issues, this essay shares early and preliminary lessons and
strategies on how public administration scholars and practitioners can lead in
crafting equitable responses to this global pandemic to uplift the African
American community.
