The new clinic was created amid a national racial crisis sparked when a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, a Black man, earlier this year. A police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, in the back seven times on Aug. 23, leaving him paralyzed. Officials say social distancing and public health guidelines will be followed at the clinic to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
