The Hanford History Project was awarded a two-year grant from the National Park Service, “Create Digital Media to Share African American Narratives Related to the Manhattan Project” and Robert Franklin will be the PI on the grant and oversee execution.
“This project will create a suite of digital interpretive products that will share the African American migration, segregation, and civil rights history associated with the Manhattan Project at Hanford, WA.
Source materials produced through this project, Documenting the African American Migration, Segregation, & Civil Rights History at Manhattan Project National Historical Park (MAPR), Hanford will inform these new interpretive products. Articles, oral history vignettes, a story map and an in-depth digital walking tour will be developed. The goal is to broaden the racial and age diversity of park visitors through digital interpretive products that share diverse and inclusive perspectives as well as engage youth.”Julian Dodson will be presenting his latest research at the Pacific Coast Branch of the AHA this August.
