Between 2014 and 2020, more than 330 Black infants died in D.C. before their first birthdays. Recent perinatal reports show this problem isn’t going away anytime soon. City Paper is taking a closer look at why this crisis hits the Black community in D.C. so hard, how it affects families and clinicians, and who is working to prevent infant loss. This series is being produced as a project for the USC Center for Health Journalism’s 2023 National Fellowship. In the first installment of a three-part series, City Paper contributor Candace Y.A. Montague speaks with Wakeya Thompson-Belt and two other mothers who lost their infants and struggled to find answers and explanations. You can read Montague's full story at the link below.
