“Economic, educational, you could be in the best physical health. Black women die at three to four times the rate of White women. But depending on which State you go to, the rates are higher. In my State of Illinois, it is six to one times. I just met with someone out there, and they said it looks like it might be even a little higher. In New York, it is eight to one times. In the State of Washington, it is not Black women but Native women at eight to one times the rate of White women. Yes, it cuts across every socioeconomic characteristic that you can find.”
