As the world falters from the homicides of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Freddie Gray and other Black individuals, we can’t overlook that prejudice additionally reaches out to Black individuals looking to move to the United States.

It doesn’t make a difference that my Black customer is a specialist who could be sparing lives during the COVID emergency, while my white customer has no equivalent instruction.
Both merit shelter, yet the main explanation my white customer has it and my Black customer doesn’t is their apparent races.
