Black Maternal Mortality in the United States:

This topic is interesting to me due to the fact that I am aspiring to work in medical field, but am troubled by the health disparities caused by discrimination. I would revise the current Wikipedia article on black maternal mortality in the United States. To revise this article, I would update the information and add any information that has now been newly discovered using scholarly references. Also, I would better the organization of the article by rearranging or splitting the article into different sections.
