Five years before most of the world got used to the term "coronavirus," Oregon Humanities got people to write letters to each other. Not emails, but letters--you know, with a pen on a piece of paper?
The "Dear Stranger" project is just a way for Oregonians who don't know each other to make a connection. The value of that connection is raised just that much higher by the need for us to stay apart during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ben Waterhouse at Oregon Humanities created the program; he joins us in conversation with O.Hm. Executive Director Adam Davis.
