Abstract
AbstractNeglecting the compounded effects of racial trauma among senior Black Americans is to ignore the inequitable weight of surviving COVID‐19 after a lifetime in the southern United States (US). This phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of Descendants of Africans Enslaved in the US and how racial trauma across the lifespan affected their well‐being prior to COVID‐19 vaccine availability. Grounded in Critical Race Theory, findings and future research directions for counseling are discussed.
