Title: Bryan B Interview, May 16, 2020
Date: May 16, 2020
Creator: Bryan B; Dan Kerr
Description: Bryan B., a PhD student at American University, shares how COVID has impacted his life. He talks about moving back in with his parents, and how it's nice to spend time with them, but he needs to be careful since his father has cancer. He discusses how the virus has impacted his social justice work, and reflects on how everyone's experience during this time is different and reflects how power and privilege work in our society. He shares how COVID-19 is the filter that reveals how we are currently fractured, and relates to the systematic devaluing of black, brown, Asian, and female bodies. Bryan talks about how the work of DC journalist Reginald Black has kept him going, and gives him hope that there are people we can support. Finally, he hopes that this can be the moment that healthcare for all becomes a thing we can all agree on. He believes that if we can't agree on that in this time, our country is a failed state.
