On the day after Martin Luther King Day, a friend sent me this video.
First lesson of great video storytelling for the web: turn off the great Mavis Staples song and you’ll still understand what’s going on here because the images are so powerful.
Second lesson for me: If you want to do a story about something that has happened in the past, your images need to be strong. A talking head just doesn’t stand up against this video of real life.
