The Tuscaloosa Civil Rights Trail
The Tuscaloosa Civil Rights Trail opened in 2018 to chronicle the city's long story in the movement for civil rights. Guided tours resumed in Fall 2021 after a year-long hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
I shot this story with a Sony NX-100 and edited it for my Media Production Tools class. Elements include a news story, a social media video, a Thinglink, a Google Map, and a package of social media posts.
