​

Join historian and community activist Michael Allen, popular WJNI radio host Terry Base, and Garcia Williams, executive director of The Medi, for a #COVID19 conversation about documenting the experiences of African Americans living through the #coronavirus pandemic.

​

Mr. Allen, who has been featured by the local news media for his current history-making project (one example: https://bit.ly/michael-allen), was instrumental in the Gullah-Geechee Special Resource Study and is recently retired from the National Park Service. His most recent project involves the South Carolina African American Heritage Commission and uses a web portal to capture African Americans’ impressions of the coronavirus’ impact on their lives. This project, “Black Carolinians Speak: Portraits of a Pandemic” invites African Americans across South Carolina to submit stories, photography, videos, artwork, poetry, and other material that illustrates their impressions of the pandemic.
