During her remarks, Madam Vice President spoke about the various ways the pandemic has deeply widene the situation for "those for whom things were awful previously," especially Black Americans, who Harris noted, have been demonstrated to be lopsidedly influenced by the difficulties of the pandemic — from health and deaths to monetary battles.

This comes after Friday after the House advanced President Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, Vice President Harris advocated the proposed round of help as genuinely necessary assistance for Black Americans, considering the pandemic an "quickening agent" for "the gaps and the disappointments, the imperfections, the defects in our framework."

She also spoke and highlighted how Black Americans had heavily contributed to battling the current public health crisis. She mentioned the health care and essential workers who have been on the front lines during the pandemic — such as Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, who contributed to the development of the Moderna vaccine, and Sandra Lindsay, the first nurse to receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in the U.S.
