The Project

Working with Prof. Gerard Aching and audio engineer, Burt Odom Reed, Cornell's broadcast studio director, this project focuses on continuing the work of past Milstein scholars to produce three more freedom seeker stories – invented by students in Cornell’s “The Underground Railroad Seminar”. The team will create graphics and edited drone footage video of the historic sites, produce three more audios stories, as well as  prepare the material and upload it to the existing website.
