Video: Hands, searching through the archives (ideally Jamar’s)
(video might include other indicators of where he is, like beginning by looking around room or entering room but from perspective of Jamar ala UK comedy Peep Show)
|
Audio: pages flipping
|
Suggestion: We should consider capturing footage and narration from stand-in and do our edits THEN call Jamar in for new footage for final cut later so we aren’t asking him blind (and he can see rough cut and knows what we want). We need to knowwhat we need and how it will look/work.

I searched for images of myself in the historic photos of ET. My assignment was a remix of existing artifacts from the archives. I wanted to write about my people. I wanted to see faces like mine in the historical photos of the campus. Black students like me. Black athletes like me.

Text below over images indicating passage of time and vitality of campus over that time
In 1889, William L. Mayo, a rouge educator from Kentucky, established this teacher training school for the area’s white farmers and their children with the mandate that “any person, of whatever age, wealth, or previous advantages” who desired a college education could have one, “regardless of their ability to pay” (Catalog, 1908).

|
|
Popcorn: From the beginning, as David Gold argues, “Mayo sought to make [the University] integral to the community” by providing local citizens with extensive rhetorical training (Gold 122).
|
|
Like any such institutional across the Jim Crow South, however, “any person” meant “any white person.”
