[Aljazeera] United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Friday that economic crises hit people of colour harder and longer, and the current crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic would have a lasting impact on Black Americans unless action was taken."During the early days of the pandemic, African Americans were the first to lose their small businesses.
