I'm really glad you included the age they were when they died, it's so jarring. In America (and elsewhere), the life expectancy for Black people is much lower than their white counterparts. And this list is really indicative of that, especially since so many the causes of death are more preventable. I know it wasn't the main point of your article but it is very illuminating and an important part of a larger conversation about the horrible and deadly implications of racism.
