Title

Bronx Covid-19 Project

Description

Fordham students and faculty are conducting interviews with Bronx residents. The initiative seeks to capture the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Bronx residents, especially people of color, poor people, and immigrants. The interview framework has incorporated changing issues, namely responses to racially discriminatory policing of social distancing measures and rising protests against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death. The archive consists of oral history interviews conducted by video conferencing technology.
