The title of the article is “The case that being poor and black is bad for your health”. The author of the article is Lauren Michele Jackson. It was published from The New Yorker 31 may, 2023. The main idea of the article is how inequality takes a ‘weathering’ toll on the body.

The author starts by telling the readers how in the eighties there was a crisis that gave rise to the opinion that black people are a source of poverty in the country. In addition, studies have been conducted, during which it has been established that black people are more vulnerable to diseases than other races. The author comments on the fact, that there is a collection of long-term researches that describe the experience of the adverse effects of racism and poverty on health. It was disclosed, that all this researches were supported by examples from real people's lives. The article concludes by saying, that an observed truth that illness and death follow some kinds of people more then others, this has been proven so far.

I found the article has value, because before reading the article, I did not know that nation can so affect their future lives.
