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

During our fieldwork, we went to the Manhattan Church of Christ and met Carl garrison, The minister of homeless outreach. We helped homeless and impoverished individuals find the clothes they wanted from the free store in the basement. After that, we interviewed Carl and a formerly homeless man, Richard Jones. We learned a lot about people’s firsthand experience with the homeless crisis while helping them have the best possible time at the church.
