Quarantine has made me realize how fragile havingaccess to people and places really is. No longer can we meet up and look over old magazinestogether, no longer are we safe to travel for a trade, our lives have become digitized. My smallcontribution to the lowrider community and to help alleviate what has been taken from us due toCOVID was to launch a site dedicated to the digital preservation of these artifacts.ShareRelated StoriesAn Extended VacationSCM Sta , 02 Jun 2021 3 min readThe Importance ofHuman InteractionThe Baby Bump NobodySawOne Fateful Day inMarch6/2/2021 Passion Project Comes to Fruition Thanks to Pandemic - Santa Clara Magazinehttps://magazine.scu.edu/magazines/2021/passion-project-comes-to-fruition-thanks-to-pandemic/ 2/2SCM Sta , 02 Jun 2021 2 min read SCM Sta , 01 Jun 2021 3 min read SCM Sta , 01 Jun 2021 2 min readStay Connected    Submit Your Class Note!2Can a country built on the ideal of freedom be racist?
