Abstract
In what ways could digital tools enhance the historical material of oral history to inspire
public engagement and deepen understanding of the complexity of systemic racism in
America?
The Change We Seek is a project that intends to promote social change through reimagining
how oral history can be used and presented to better inform collegiate and high school
students on complex issues of race in American society.
Through utilizing the educational value of sharing narratives from people of color (POC), and
animation, this project is an all-out effort to redefine how oral history has the potential to
provoke a realization within the American public of its sizeable racial disparity.
The research included in this paper also documents significant historical and theoretical
research that shapes the content produced for The Change We Seek. This research charts
numerous instances of how the foundations which shape American society, most
specifically education, have significantly affected the lives of black people forcing readers
and viewers of content produced from The Change Week Seek to understand the gravity of
America’s racial divide.
