Unearthing the truth of convict leasing, a project funded by Soros Equality fellowship

During the 18-month-long Soros Equality Fellowship, I researched, art-directed, and implemented multiple visual communication media for telling the history of convict leasing and the story of Sugar Land 95, the 95 African-American individuals unearthed during a construction in Sugar Land, Texas. This effort included a rebrand of a local nonprofit organization, UX/UI design, report, graphic narratives, video, and numerous writings and speaking engagements.
