Interview with Lottie Scott. Interviewed by Samariya Smith on February 9, 2023 at Lottie Smith's home in Norwich, Connecticut. She was interviewed as part of the Connecticut Historical Society's Community History Project discussing her experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Lottie Scott is an 86-year-old civil rights activist living in Norwich, Connecticut. Lottie was born in South Carolina but moved to Connecticut in 1957. She recalled the pandemic as being very frightening. The first disruption to Lottie’s life was her inability to travel. She became very cautious, not wanting to go to the airport or handle luggage. When asked how she kept herself safe, Lottie responded that she followed the rules. Lottie received the vaccine as soon as it was available. As she was considered high-risk due to her age, she was eligible to receive the vaccine earlier than most people. She recalled her grandson’s hesitancy over getting vaccinated but noted that when it became a requirement for his job, he got the vaccine. She strongly supported vaccine and mask mandates. When asked about voting, Lottie responded that she has voted since she was legally able to, and it was something her mother instilled in her. When asked about absentee voting, she said that those who can, should go to the polls to vote. When asked about hobbies, Ms. Lottie discussed her love for music and her passion for Prince. Her advice to those who experience future pandemics was, “follow the rules.”
