Since 1878

Click to Download.

Since 1878 is a multi-part series by the 142nd, 143rd, 144th Board of The Exonian. It examines the paper’s coverage of racism at the Academy and, by extension, in the country as a whole. The articles do not provide a complete overview of racist events over the years in question. Additionally, research draws heavily from The Exonian’s archives, which present a biased depiction of racial dynamics at the Academy. Instead, Since 1878 offers a portrait of The Exonian, the Academy and the nation, decade by decade, by highlighting articles published in the paper. As the project manager, I organized the project timeline, helped edit the 30+ articles, designed a cohesive theme for layout, single-handedly did the layout from the 300+ pg. book, and brought the project to completion over a span of 3 years.
