Uzazi Village, a Kansas City-based nonprofit aimed at providing community-based maternal care, is hosting its ninth annual Black Infant Mortality Awareness Walk on Saturday.

“We really just want to send a message to the community, to the healthcare providers, to the lawmakers and the policy holders in our community as a whole that the survival of our Black babies is an issue that affects us all,” said Ceciley Wong, director of education at Uzazi Village.
