From the article:

A new study by researchers at George Mason University, the University of Minnesota, and Harvard Business School finds that the infant mortality rate for Black babies is far lower when the attending physician at the birth is Black. This is extremely important due to the fact that in the United States, Black newborns die at three times the rate of White newborns.
