MLK Jr. Day
The Background
Launched in anticipation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2023, our project focused on the enduring legacy of Dr. King and his influence on contemporary political leaders in the Richmond, VA community. Through an accompanying video series, we aimed to demonstrate the profound impact that MLK's ideals and beliefs have on the public service ethos of our local politicians. From stories of societal reform to grassroots activism, we unearth the ways in which MLK's dream continues to shape local politics. Our 2023 campaign served as a poignant reminder of MLK's continuing influence, while promoting civic engagement and furthering an understanding of local political motivations and aspirations.
