Dear Friend, How does one large, urban community strive to overcome the economic, social, and physical challenges of the pandemic? Join us for an online conversation from The Christian Science Monitor’s Finding Resilience series and find out. Event: Overcoming adversity: How the pandemic revealed resilience When six Fordham University students set out to interview Bronx residents about surviving the pandemic, they expected tales of woe. Instead, they found people kept using one particular quality to describe their experiences: resilience. Despite one of the city’s darkest eras in recent memory, the light of community, family, and perseverance shone through in the voices of the Bronx COVID-19 Oral History Project. Register for either the October 5, 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT event or for the repeat live event at 6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT and listen as members of the Bronx COVID-19 Oral History Project and Monitor journalists give you a behind-the-scenes look at this vibrant story.
