The Harlem Children’s Zone is going national with its efforts to provide communities with holistic Covid-19 relief. President Geoffrey Canada and CEO Kwame Owusu-Kesse discuss the disproportionate effect the pandemic has had on Black communities, and share their approach to scaling relief efforts from NYC to six other cities across the US.
