Thatâs because the CDC says Black Americans ages 35 to 54 are two times more likely to die from heart disease than white adults.

Officials with the city of Minneapolis say theyâre making progress in negotiations with the state that could lead to a consent decree governing the Minneapolis Police Departmentâs policies and practices.
