Kenneth Leroy King approaches the COVID-19 pandemic through a lens that extends
beyond medicine and statistics.

In COVID-19: The Killer of a Dream, he examines the relationship between public health, racial
injustice, historical trauma, mental well-being, institutional trust, and the African American experience.

His work encourages readers to confront difficult questions about how history continues to shape
the present and why understanding the human experiences behind major social crises matters.

Through research, historical reflection, and critical examination, King challenges readers to consider not only what happened during COVID-19, but what the pandemic revealed about longstanding inequalities embedded within American society.
