Voices from the pandemic
This community reporting project was launched in March 2020 as a way to show the pandemic’s toll over a sustained period of time in Minneapolis. It was published in the Southwest Journal until the paper’s closure in December 2020. Below are local residents’ stories recorded after the paper’s closure.
