ABOUT

My role for the project was digital content producer, I wrote articles and filmed videos for the site. In was also my role to source any relevant information for the site. '2013 is the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I have a dream’ speech. On the 28th of August, Architects of Our Republic will mark this iconic moment in history with an open air celebration – an explosion of poetry, music and film inspired by the message of the speech and its resonance today. Through this blog, we’ll give you information about the project and share multiple perspectives on the speech itself, civil rights leaders past and present, contemporary ideas of social reform and the power of poetical, political speech. We hoped to incite discussion and initiate thoughtful debate around the memory of this iconic event. The celebration continued throughout the year in theatres and libraries around the country.'
