In 2019, the poverty rate for the United States was 10.5%, the lowest since estimates were first released for 1959.
Poverty rates declined between 2018 and 2019 for all major race and Hispanic origin groups.
Two of these groups, Blacks and Hispanics, reached historic lows in their poverty rates in 2019. The poverty rate for Blacks was 18.8%; for Hispanics, it was 15.7%. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/09/poverty-rates-for-blacks-and-hispanics-reached-historic-lows-in-2019.html#:~:text=Non-Hispanic%20Whites%20made%20up%2059.9%%20of%20the%20total,population%20and%204.3%%20of%20the%20population%20in%20poverty.

Right-o! That what Biden means when he talks about recovery. The black and Hispanic poverty rates have dropped so we need to do everything we can to ensure the rates recover to what they were before, if not higher!
