Title: Angie Whitehurst Interview, April 16, 2020
Date: April 17, 2020
Creator: Angie Whitehurst; Dan Kerr
Description: Angie Whitehurst explores how she has reacted to the COVID-19 crisis. She feels that the city did not react fast or well enough, and says that we should listen to doctors, scientists, and public health officials before politicians. Angie shares cartoons that she has been working on about COVID for Street Sense that include important messages about making change and staying home. The cartoons additionally explore the economic impact of COVID, both personally and nationally, the racial implications, and the need for social justice in DC jails. She ends with a call to help our communities: "human kindness is what we really need right now." This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/

Title: Five Champions of Child Health in the Peace Corps in Malawi in the 1960s: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister
Date: [date of publication not identified]
Creator: Weinstein, Arthur K.
Description: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister, Director of the “Malawi XIV” Child Health “Under-Fives’ Baby Clinic Project” (1968-1970) and the “Malawi XIV” Tuberculosis Control Project (1968-1970). Back in the United States, he became an early leader of Family Medicine at the University of Missouri. Twenty years later, in 1991, he returned to Malawi to provide medical care for three months at Likuni Mission Hospital, in Lilongwe. He found that the Peace Corps’ investment in child health in the 1960s had paid off handsomely: The Under-Fives’ Baby Clinics were still operating in most districts, coordinated by Malawi health assistants. Since retiring, he volunteers for the PET (Personal Energy Transportation) cart project (now called Mobility Worldwide), which has helped victims of polio, land mines, birth defects, and animal attacks in over 100 countries.
