Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said that Black, Latino and indigenous people in the U.S. are dying disproportionately from COVID-19 in the U.S. due to structural racism and broader inequities in health care, housing and job security. “This virus has no eyes, and yet it knows exactly how we see each other—and how we treat each other,” said Harris in a speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention. She encouraged Americans to work toward fulfilling the “promise of equal justice under law. Because, none of us are free...until all of us are free.” The coronavirus pandemic upended both parties’ traditional conventions. Instead of in-person events, the DNC program each night features a number of speakers and musical performances virtually across the country.
