A central archival and storytelling system to show evidence of the history of African Americans at MIT and to provide young people an instrument for action and a power for their future.
We built a framework for managing files and multimedia assets reusable in any part of the website, reducing database size and adding significant editorial organization. We also built a sophisticated design system of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of page and story layouts. We are proud to be partners in this project and share the vision of the project members to inspire young people to live their dreams and continue the project's objective to research and disseminate a varied set of materials that shed light on this rich, significant legacy.
