Urban Opioids
"While much of the narrative around America's opioid crisis has been focused on how it has impacted white, suburban communities [ Editor's Note: I'd say rural], the JR Plaza Hotel in the predominantly African-American neighborhood is an example of how the problem has hit blacks especially hard in Chicago," WBEZ reports.

"City data show African-Americans fatally overdose from opioids - a class of drugs that includes certain painkillers, heroin, and fentanyl - at a rate three times the national average, as reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health policy organization.

"In 2016, a Cook County Public Health report showed that African Americans accounted for nearly half of all opioid-related deaths in Chicago."
