SCRIPT: Liberia
Added 2021-02-03 15:47:43 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
This video was posted before the holidays, but I want to share this script, not only because this was a massive project, but also:
1) Because there is a whole entire chapter of this video that we never ended up filming. The ACS, the organization that shipped freed slaves to Liberia, was founded in DC, the building where it was founded is now a bar and grille, so I was going to do some field reporting, which didn't end up happening. Side note: if you are interested, look into who the founding members of the American Colonization Society were. I think you will be surprised.
2) For those of you who are looking to make explainers yourself, I attached at the top the spreadsheet I used to make my graph animation of the leading off shore registries. Click "shipping data" at the top of the script to see how I broke down hundreds of lines of data into a simple graph.
