 COVID-19 has exposed Latin America’s immense inequalities that leave some groups more exposed to the virus, its economic consequences, and the policing of quarantine measures. This panel examines the distinct burdens and vulnerabilities of Latin America’s indigenous and Black populations. Has COVID-19 magnified racial and ethnic inequalities? Have the experiences of COVID-19 been similar or different for indigenous compared to Black communities? Which governments have been more successful in addressing the uneven effects of COVID-19 across racial and ethnic groups? And how have protests against police brutality and structural racism in the United States echoed in Latin America?

 *Presented in collaboration with [Weatherhead Center for International Affairs](https://wcfia.harvard.edu/)* and *[Afro-Latin American Research Institute](https://alari.fas.harvard.edu/)*
