Title: Kai Walther Interview, May 21, 2020
Date: May 21, 2020
Creator: Kai Walther; Dan Kerr
Description: Kai Walther recently graduated from American University. Covid-19 cut their senior rugby season short. They had to take classes online and celebrate their commencement virtually. Kai lives in an 800 square foot apartment in DC with three other roommates and feels restricted, unable to go on trips, freely travel outside, visit museums, cafes, or friends. They face major hurdles finding work in the field of public history now that all the museums are closed. They feel it is difficult to stay motivated. Kai’s three roommates have kept them going. They spend more time together, play board games, cook together, and have gone on bike rides. Zoom has also allowed Kai to attend virtual birthday parties, have movie nights with friends, and have family events. Zoom, however, is imperfect because it only allows one person to talk at a time. Kai hopes we learn the importance of government support in health care as the most vulnerable are currently receiving the least amount of support. Kai also asks that people wear masks to protect those who are more at risk. This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/
