For my story on Mississippi, I think that it would be important to analyze and research why the deaths of black residents is on the rise in this state. Throughout the United States, black deaths and minority deaths in general have been on the rise due to COVID-19. In Mississippi, there is a large minority population and rural areas with most likely less clinics in those areas. I’d like to use data to really detail why black residents are facing the most fatalities.
I would use sources such as the ACLU in Mississippi, the Mississippi Health Department, and the governor of Mississippi.
