Facing History and Ourselves provides teachers with the tools to help their students learn about racism, anti-Semitism, prejudice, and tolerance so that students are equipped to prevent these injustices from reoccurring in their daily lives.
I was filling in as a freelance CD at RP3 when Facing History asked for a simple social post announcing the winners of their annual high school essay contest. We responded that instead of just a simple post, they should let us create a social campaign out of the essays. So that's what we did.
“The History Of” is a series of three videos that elevate the voices of these individual students by truly bringing their essays to life. Facing History is promoting the videos to teachers across the nation through their social media channels to raise awareness, spark conversation, and inspire teachers around the globe to implement Facing History’s lesson plans in their classrooms.
I managed a team of creatives at RP3 Agency on this project including Melanie Fitts (art direction), Neil Pohl (copywriting), and partnered with Smartypants on the video production.
