On May 20, 2021 the Delaware Historical Society, Mitchell Center for African American Heritage partnered with DETV to present Realities from the Frontlines. The panel of four frontline workers, Dr. Velma Scantlebury-White, Dr. Brian Perry, Kathy Crawford, MSN, RN, CCRN and James Ndungu, RN BSN, discussed their experiences and personal sacrifices, documenting the realities of the pandemic’s toll in Delaware. Journalist Nichelle Polston, who previously teamed up with Key Robbins and DHS to create the documentary short film COVID Chronicles Delaware, moderated the discussion.
Over 150 viewers joined the live program via Zoom and DETV’s Facebook Livestream.
Stay Tuned!
