Virus

Virus by Jamiah Lincoln

"I could tell you Black folk have died the most from the virus, that 20% of people of color in the U.S. didn't have enough bedrooms or bathrooms to even quarantine properly. That the system has been designed to increase our disparities - to see us unalive."

The Bigger Picture campaign began in 2013 with a closer look at how type 2 diabetes results from generations of social inequity. Now, we expand its focus with Survival Pending Revolution, highlighting the dilemma of COVID-19 plaguing underrepresented (and under-resourced) communities. In our new series, these poets contend with how to best protect and advocate for themselves, their communities, and their futures—alongside the many structural factors placing their communities at risk.
