Artist Statement: PrtScrn(HUM@N_R!GHT$) explores the history of An Appeal For Human Rights, as well as the role mass media plays in influencing society. Text, photo, magazine, film, TV, digital typography, and the printing press are woven together to celebrate the impact that An Appeal For Human Rights had in priming the city of Atlanta, and eventually the rest of the country, for what would be the launch of the Sit-in Movement, mass rights protests, American desegregation efforts, etc. spearheaded by SNCC.
