Briggs, Grandgeorge, Hinderliter – Question 4

¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 Both social protest and social-protest archiving have a vested interest in the future, demonstrate a commitment to the efficacy of immediate action, and rely on the beliefs and commitments of many individuals. Social protest seeks to bring about or influence social and political change, and social-protest archiving works to preserve and document that process for the historical record. Marches and demonstrations happen in the moment, and to be effective, social-protest collecting must also occur in the moment. In addition, both rely on the beliefs, commitments, and actions of many individuals. It takes a crowd to make an effective demonstration, and it takes a crowd to take the next step and create a grassroots social-protest archive.
