2020 was a challenging year for the Black community.
COVID-19 reared its ugly head, disproportionately impacting the economic, emotional and physical well-being of Black Americans. A recession followed, worsening the employment outlook for Black workers.
Also in 2020, a wave of civil unrest rocked the nation triggered by the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer and the shootings of Ahmaud Arbery, Daunte Wright, Breanna Taylor and countless other Black individuals.
