Abstract
This interview was conducted by Stacy Steele with Rebecca “Becky” Baker as part of Project 2020: A Collaborative Oral History. Becky Baker (b.1984), a native of Sharon, SC, shares the challenges she faces as a parent with two young children amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Baker also discusses the educational and social hurdles that her elementary-level children face in school, particularly virtual learning. Conducted during the height of the pandemic, this interview provides rich insight into the pandemic experience, especially in relation to education and parenting.
Spearheaded by Dr. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight, Assistant Professor of History and Director of African American studies, the oral history project is best summarized in her words: “The goal was to conduct interviews that explored the various ways in which Americans were experiencing and being impacted by the various watershed moments that emerged during 2020 (the global pandemic, social unrest, financial challenges, issues with healthcare, etc.)."
