Abstract
This article explores the experiences of Latino/a individuals who participated in Black Lives Matter activism during the pandemic and the way their Latino/a identity affected their willingness to participate despite the health and safety risks of doing so. This article relies on oral history interviews from the Voces of a Pandemic project from the Voces Oral History Center at the University of Texas at Austin. The authors draw on twenty of those interviews, focusing specifically on people who identify as activists or who spent a significant amount of time talking about activism in their interview. The authors found several themes across the interviews, including the desire to show solidarity with the Black community, the Latino/a experience with police in America, and motivations and considerations for protesting during a pandemic.
