equal justice initiative
Over the span of eight months, we worked closely with the Equal Justice Initiative and Google to bring to life an immense and interactive website, detailing the long history of racial terror in America, and the legacy it has left behind. Through documentaries and podcasts that focus on the descendants of lynching victims, the site highlights a narrative that began some hundred years ago, and is still prevalent in modern America.
