I met Joe Lambert of the Center for Digital Storytelling.
Joe was here in New Orleans to advise the development of the Plessy Park Project, which aims to build a civil rights memorial park on the site where Homer Plessy got arrested in 1892. (I’m onboard as the editor for an instructional DVD that’s being made on the side.) It’s a worthy project. The end result promises to be incredible. In the meantime, it is bringing together many talented people, and I’m certainly glad to be a part of it in some small way.
But I was particularly intrigued to meet Joe, because Thom Gillespie, the director of my grad program at IU, has had so many good things to say about him over the years.
