Abstract:
In this interview, Dr. George A. Simpson and his son Gregory Simpson discuss their family's history, with a focus on the impact of their ancestor E.W.F. Stirrup on the housing and community development of Coconut Grove. Dr. Simpson shares his unique medical perspective, discussing his work on health crises such as AIDS and COVID-19, and highlighting the disproportionate effects on African American communities. The conversation also covers topics related to racial injustice, segregation, and gentrification. It touches on the significance of education, community activism, and the importance of preserving cultural and historical legacy amidst changing social landscapes. ( en )
