led by our in-house developer, I assisted in conceptualizing the memorial interactive of the documented martyrs of the American Civil Rights Movement. Inspired by Maya Lin's Civil Rights Memorial, which sits in sight of the interactive.
Visitors can learn more about the martyrs by filtering through year and by selecting specific photos (if applicable) which share the story of that selected martyr. When users selects a portrait, a graphic recreation of the memorial will light up, representing where the name is located on the physical memorial.
