Setting the Context: Black Deaths Matter

- 11.5 percent of people over age 50 have lost a child. The figure is far higher among blacks (16.7 percent) than whites (10.2).

- Black adults were more than 2.5 times as likely as white adults to lose a child by age 30 (4.9% of black respondents, 1.8% of white respondents).

- Black adults are four times more likely to lose a child when respondents were between the ages of 50 and 80 (10.4% of black respondents and 2.5% of white respondents).

Debra Umberson, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

“While bereavement is stressful whenever it occurs, studies continue to provide evidence that the greatest stress, and often the most enduring one, occurs for parents who experience the death of a child.”
