What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

This past Thursday, January 19 2023, We interviewed coach Macky, the founder of a nonprofit sports organization called steady buckets. I really liked how he answered our questions with lots of detail and he had lots of good information. I thought it was really cool how he based his whole life and job on helping other kids who don’t get the opportunity to play sports. We had a lot of good questions for him and he answered them really well and talked for a while. During our conversations he explained to us his experience through covid and how that affected his organization. A lot of people during covid wanted a way to exercise and he came up with the idea to create an online workout, his idea was very successful and many people joined.
