Fatherhood During The Pandemic and Beyond

To say that this year threw parents more than a few curveballs would be an understatement. As we celebrate Fathers Day, we're reminded of a recent episode of MPR News titled "Fatherhood during the pandemic and beyond," where host Angela Davis speaks with fathers about what it was like to be a father during this year of racial reckoning, COVID-19 quarantine, and distance learning.
