ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…
"The lifestyle and wellness goals that comprise ideal cardiovascular health may not be equitably obtained across sociodemographic groups, and we sought to determine the relation between race, ethnicity, and level of education with cardiovascular health." Image
"In some studies, education level has been shown to have a greater effect on life expectancy than does race. Past literature has advocated for education as a means to overcome race‐based differences." Image

Laura Smalley Interview Excerpt
Hampstead, Texas, 1941

Formerly enslaved Laura Smalley discusses some of the songs they used to sing on the plantations during slavery and sings a somber song about "thunderballs rattlin"

Although these are "firsthand" accounts I think its important to keep in mind the condition of Black Americans and the conditions under which these recordings were produced

Excerpt from Scenes of Subjection by Saidiya Hartman on the subject
One theme that emerges listening to these recordings is that white people have always been fascinated by "Negro music" and often try to compel ex-slaves to perform for them 😒

Excerpt from The Half That's Never Been Told by Edward Baptist
