As a country, the USA hasn't been near the top twenty in regards to infant mortality in decades. While their rate does improve over time and are now down to 5 deaths in 1,000 births, the black infant mortality is more than double the national average. The black population suffers from rates not seen in the USA since the 1980s, at over 10 deaths in 1,000 births.
