- Bryan B Interview, May 16, 2020
- Date

- 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.

- Kelcy; Adrienne Pine
- Description
- Kelcy is a transfer student at American University, currently a third-year anthropology major. COVID has had affected her in a number of ways, one of those being the death of a family member. Additionally, Kelcy had to move back in with her mom instead of moving to DC, and she hasn't seen her dad in over a year because of restrictions on international flights. Despite these challenges, Kelcy credits her parents with getting her through the crisis, as well as her partner. Her goal of getting into law school has helped her to stay motivated in school. She hopes that people grow to understand the importance of community from this pandemic, especially because the government is not providing needed support. Ideally, she says the government should listen more to people and offer free access to treatment and testing. Finally, she hopes that society moves away from capitalism, which has shown itself to be unsustainable.

- Description
- The overall objective is to create a deeper understanding of the Black Lives Matter Movement during the Summer of 2020 through the lens of modern Christian practices and ideals, with the hope of better understanding the motivations of those involved in the Black Lives Matter Movement and to evaluate the connection between religion, politics, and human rights. It should be noted that this interview took place in the year 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic with a remote interview process. The interview took place shortly before a contentious presidential election, and discusses a highly politicized social movement that (as of October 2020) peaked in the Summer of 2020.
