Facing the Pandemic was a collaboration with the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History that dissects the disparate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on different communities and shares stories of personal experiences from early on. Compiling data documenting these disparities and tapping into research on racial and economic public health implications shares important truths about social and health inequities across the country and in Washtenaw County. From a person who was incarcerated (as referenced in the blank portrait), to a frontline worker, to individuals based at home during this time, each story provides a unique perspective on COVID’s influence on their lives.
