- Description
- Eric Jonathan Sheptock, a working homeless person addresses how Covid-19 has impacted him. He works for a company that provides porta-potties and hand washing stations for events and has had his hours dramatically cut. His company contracts with the city to now provide these services to homeless encampments, and he has gained a greater sense of the large numbers of people living outside. He is currently in a hotel under quarantine after discovering the person who sleeps near him at his shelter contracted Covid-19, but he does not have symptoms. He hopes we do not forget about the homeless when things go back to normal, that we work together to end homelessness and increase access to affordable housing and living wage jobs. This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/

- Description
- SUMMARY: Harry Washington was born in Georgia, but grew up in Washington DC. His parents were ministers. During his childhood, he took martial arts classes, which he believes taught him values and principles. He received his high school diploma and a culinary degree and worked as a chef at a hotel in DuPont Circle for many years, but the hotel closed down causing him to lose his job. After Washington’s parents died, his sister sold his family house without giving him his share. He is currently living with his niece, who is the daughter of his schizophrenic younger brother. Overall, Washington believes there is a widespread degradation of values within the United States. He believes the education system no longer teaches people to think for themselves and causes people to only think about their own interests. Washington cites the current presidential election and his sister’s selfish behavior as examples of a general loss of principles within the United States. Washington also mentions his experience with the police, both personal experience and witness to unfair treatment from the police force.
