What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:
On January 31st, we interviewed Linda Greenhouse. Linda Greenhouse is an opinion writer for the New York Times. She has done a lot of work around this topic and has also written a book with some other writers titled “Before Roe v. Wade.” She talked to us about the history of Roe v. Wade and how it has impacted the U.S. over time. Linda also talked about the future and whether the war over abortion even has one. Linda is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who covered the United States Supreme Court for nearly three decades for The New York Times. I learned a lot about the history of Roe v. Wade and how, even though a lot has changed, not that much has.
