George Floyd’s Memorial Day killing shook the nation and laid bare the reality of Black life amid a global health crisis. In the wake of Floyd’s death, thousands of people rose up in Minneapolis, in the Midwest, across the United States, and eventually around the world to protest police brutality, but also something larger: the structural inequality that landed George Floyd and others in a premature grave. Organized by our curators and written by guest scholars, "Black Life in Two Pandemics" contextualizes today's events within the long history of racial violence in the Midwest. The series' posts center the lives and histories of Black people in the Midwest, and they connect the regions's past to the public health crisis and structural racism of today. At its core, "Two Pandemics" attempts to unpack the question on many Americans' minds: why has the Midwest become a tipping point?
