NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Communities of color have been hit the hardest by COVID-19. Amid the fear and chaos, the courageous heroes on our medical front lines have stepped up, every single day, to save lives.
This Black History Month, WABC honors three of our bravest and brightest, right here in New York City.

"This is what I'm meant to do."
