A Hockey Pandemic By: Jennifer Scott A Hockey Pandemic Oh, it was so systemic They said Oh you can play, Oh you can not, But you must wear masks each and every day You can not breathe you say, oh that's ok No checking, no face-offs, no bags No dressing in the locker room What, you say? This is not hockey, no way! Dress in the cold, carry your equipment on your stick Pretend the rules do not exist. What? No, not ok, high school is on the way. Our team was low on players, Then they took our out of staters. What will we do? How will we play? Whose quarantined? Who got injured or hurt? What will we do? How will we play? We’ll reunite with hockey brothers from times past We’ll do what it takes We just want to play It doesn’t matter, it will be ok We miss our teammates We’ll stay united and no one will get in our way Because X-box will save the day Some have been here four years or more And some have come just through the door. No matter the time or length Memories were made and that we can not forget We will always remember the Thanksgiving Tournaments, The bowling, the arcades, the knee and street hockey, Rollerblading, parties, and friendships we have made Because these memories will never fade This is not goodbye, because many of us will meet again On the ice together as teammates or as opponents, As friends, or X-box buddies 2020- 2021 you might have caused us strife, But it doesn’t matter because we are hockey brothers for life.

Jenny Sanchez Description What is it all about? Title: Abue! Play Production Achieving the 'American dream' has always been a priority for the Rodriguez family. Through vignettes of events we meet Fernando, an adventurous businessman and Marta, the backbone of Fernando’s success. But the more successful the business is growing, the more it would affect their relationship. Tired of being mistreated, Marta decides to take action. Little does she know what will come next for Fernando, not even tequila can cure the mind. Only Marta, better known as ‘abue’ can continue the legacy of the tortilleria and bring out the true meaning of family. Production Concept: Originally, the play was supposed to be performed in Central Falls, Rhode Island this year but due to Covid-19, our staged production is going virtual for the health and safety of the cast and audience. My intention is to produce the play to provide space, opportunity and community for Latinx performers. That mission will continue now virtually! From our very homes to yours! This recording is a private screening with the cast.

Welcome to the DLS COVID-19 time capsule archive where you can take a journey back in time to the year 2020 when everyone’s lives were turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn about how De La Salle 6th and 8th grade students adapted to quarantine and distance learning. As part of their social studies classes, students were asked to share what they did while stuck at home including taking classes via Zoom (a video conferencing program), pursuing new and old hobbies, staying connected with friends, and spending WAY more time with their families than ever before. They were able to share these videos and slideshows with their classmates and hope that sometime in the future these projects will help students just like them learn about the unusual spring of 2020.

This video was created for a social studies assignment given to help the De La Salle 8th grade students reflect on the unusual and historic situation brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic. One goal of the project was to give the students a way to share their experiences during quarantine and distance learning with their classmates even though they could not be together in person to wrap up their time in middle school. Another goal was to connect to what students had learned earlier in the year while completing their research for National History Day about primary sources and how they can give one a much more personal understanding of historic events.

The Coronacast was an online video interview series completed between March and June 2020. This series was an attempt to connect with thoughtful, courageous people who were finding their own paths through an unprecedented time. I needed help in making meaning of the pandemic experience. These 26 conversations kept me connected at times when I felt very alone, challenged me to think about things that were not visible or comfortable to me, and made me cry with grief and gratitude. When I look back across these short interviews, I’m struck by how each one reflects an individual perspective at a particular moment and also fits into a bigger picture of human experience. To each and every person who made space to talk with me, to be tender, to share a personal story or glimpse into their life’s work, thank you. It is my belief that we are strongest when we are vulnerable. You have led the way for me in doing so. Talking with and listening to other people is a good place to start, in any situation. Parker Palmer talks about our responsibility to “hear people into deeper speech” — which seems like a worthy goal. Right now, there are urgent conversations our community needs to have about race, oppression, history, access, priorities, and opportunity. We have to talk about these things so that we can work together for equity and justice. We are lucky to have many strong voices leading those discussions, and I’m committed to supporting them.

Jessica David Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? As the world reels from a global pandemic, I’ve been touched and gratified by the many ways people are coping and connecting. Whether it is singing from the balconies in Italy, weddings performed on the street in NYC, “Knock It Off” t-shirts in my beloved Rhode Island, #getmePPE, mutual aid networks, or the zoom call my family attempted last week, our humanity is showing. (I, for one, hope it sticks around for awhile.) This had me thinking: What can I do? Coronacast is my attempt to extend the connection. I am one of the few, I’m guessing, enjoying the proliferation of videoconferencing. It brings me joy and comfort to see dear faces and have real conversations. In this moment of crisis, when you ask a genuine question, people respond with honesty, generosity, humor, wisdom, and love. Perhaps COVID-19 gives us an excuse to be just a tiny bit vulnerable with each other. So here’s the first in what I hope will be a (time-limited) series of short video calls with interesting people. It’s part oral history, part small talk, part coping strategy. Informal and amateur, it’s meant to reflect the moment we’re in. Episode 1 is Phil Ayoub of Beau Tyler & the Sly Dog Co., entrepreneur, songwriter, musician, and my cousin. “And now, I make a pretty good cup of coffee.” https://ricovidarchive.rihs.org/files/original/cef269f19293518ebd9d0c3476b2f894.mp4 3b6e404d013dca822b523f81dd353269 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Max Grinnell is a professor, speaker, artist, and former baker’s assistant, among other callings — all of which give him a unique perspective on what this moment might mean for cities. He goes by The Urbanologist on Twitter and Periscope. “People make places,” Max said from his home in Boston. COVID-19 highlights many of the factors that shape the fabric of our places, like small businesses, automobile use, and outdoor spaces for humans. And we need to have tough conversations, he urged, that account for the lived experiences of our essential workers. In a wide-ranging conversation, Max touched on what it’ll take to make change (spoiler alert: political restructuring and direct action), the daily rollercoaster of emotions that many of us are experiencing, and his affection for Providence. ⚓️ https://ricovidarchive.rihs.org/files/original/5fcd0522b5bea1b8392fe14689cd2ca3.mp4 bc567626b057bef6878a5e7fc5a59d1b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jessica David Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? I had the good fortune of talking with self-described sentimental guy Adam Greenman, CEO of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, on his birthday. The “how are you?” question is a struggle for everyone these days, and Adam coined a new response, declaring, “I’m good in corona-adjusted terms.” He spoke about the paradox of feeling hopeful during this difficult time. “It’s hard to say this, because it’s such a hard moment, to acknowledge that there are good things happening in the midst of all this tragedy and in the midst of all this uncertainty,” Adam said. “I’ve been super inspired by how quickly society has been able to transition, and step out of comfort zones, to figure out how to keep going.” Indeed. And if you’re not into that kind of thing, hopefully you’ll enjoy the t-shirt banter. Happy Birthday, Adam! Thanks for doing what you do.
