The faces of those America has lost to COVID-19
More than 297,000 Americans have lost their lives due to the coronavirus. But it’s not just a statistic. One special project, “The Faces of COVID,” is putting a face, a name, and a heart to those we’ve lost. Jason Johnson spoke with Alex Goldstein, the man behind the tributes, about his work to honor and remember those who’ve died. “It was really about lifting up the dignity and being willing to say and shout out loud the names of the people we’re losing every single day,” Goldstein said.

“We made the cookbook and we started thinking, kind of on a larger scale, what we could do with it that would help people in our community. So we started selling them at campus to raise money for the East Texas Food Bank, and it just kind of took off from there,” Oden said.

The cookbook is mainly based on family recipes. If you’d like a copy of the cookbook contact Judson Middle School.
