Georgia's Covid-19 reopening pits white governor against black mayors

African Americans account for 54% of state’s known Covid-19 deaths while Atlanta’s mayor unveils her own reopening council

In a state where African Americans make up more than 32% of the population but account for an estimated 54% of known coronavirus deaths, the decision pitted a white Republican governor against mostly black Democratic mayors and critics.

“By trying to push a false opening of the economy, we risk putting more lives in danger,” Stacey Abrams, the Democrat who lost to Kemp in a controversial election in 2018, told MSNBC.

Abrams said ordering businesses to reopen would therefore put Georgia’s communities at risk.

Non-essential businesses, including tattoo parlors, hair salons, movie theaters and bowling alleys, will be authorized to reopen from Friday, if they follow social distancing orders.
