The students discuss how Covid-19 has affected the black youth and specifically hearing from a local Sacramento African American High School student within this podcast. Youth host Marcel Martin discusses how the African American youth's everyday lives were changed and damaged due to Covid-19. One of the most significant changes that he mentioned was how the African American youth was heavily affected by the shutting down of schools all over the nation. Leaving black youths across America with plenty of time on their hands. Marcel also discussed the mental health of the African American youth and how rates of anxiety and depression started to rise due to our political climate involving the death of George Floyd. Marcel also discussed how the evidence that Black people are four times more likely to die from Covid-19 compared to their white counterparts due to inadequate medical resources are causing anxiety, fear, and depression. The students start to talk about how many African American youth are becoming more politically aware and active with protest. Marcel brings up the topic that many young black artists, dancers, singers, and athletes struggle to practice what they love because of COVID-19. Finally, the podcast concludes with an Interview with a local African American youth heavily affected by Covid-19.
