When COVID-19 hit Maine early last year, it didn’t hit everyone the same by June, Black residents represented 27 percent of all cases while making up just 1.4 percent of the general population, the biggest racial disparity in the country. Latino and Indigenous residents were disproportionately hurt, too.
