- Andrea Echeverria Interview, May 19, 2020
- Date

- Creator
- Andrea Echeverria; Tatiana Belenkaya
- Description
- Andrea Echeverria discusses the impact of COVID on her life. She shares that she has started teaching online, and that her four-year-old son has stopped going to school. This means that she can spend more time with him, and is surviving thanks to increased interactions with family and friends in Chile and Columbia. She has also been playing games online for the first time, and meditating everyday. Thinking about new stories and research projects, and looking for a new home, has also kept her going. Andrea reflects on how this crisis has led her to realize how fragile economic and social structures are, and how everything is so connected right now.

- Angie Whitehurst explores how she has reacted to the COVID-19 crisis. She feels that the city did not react fast or well enough, and says that we should listen to doctors, scientists, and public health officials before politicians. Angie shares cartoons that she has been working on about COVID for Street Sense that include important messages about making change and staying home. The cartoons additionally explore the economic impact of COVID, both personally and nationally, the racial implications, and the need for social justice in DC jails. She ends with a call to help our communities: "human kindness is what we really need right now."

- 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.

- Description
- Humanities Truck director Dan Kerr reflects on the impact of COVID, both personally, for the Truck operations, and as a country. He discusses how the Truck has been shut down since March, and shares his own challenges in working from home doing distance learning and homeschooling his daughter. Dan does see some positive things happening, though, such as spending more time together as a family and communicating more with friends. He hopes that the pandemic can be an opportunity for everyone to reflect and act on the "severe economic inequalities" that are making citizens unhealthy, including struggling for economic justice and universal healthcare. He ends by calling upon others to make videos for the Connected Perspective Projects to "use this moment to start thinking about how we can make this world a better place." This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/
