“One of our priorities when doing "March" is to sort of undo what we feel is the disservice done by what we call the Nine Words Problem. Which is that most American kids, whatever they do learn about the movement, especially in school, is usually limited to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, "I Have a Dream." And so there's sort of a layer of unreality; there's not a sense of continuity.” FeelsDoneProblemDreamKidsSchoolMovementKingsPrioritiesNineParksMarchLayersLutherContinuityDisserviceUnrealityRosa Author:Nate Powell
“People of every age group have connected strongly with the story [the March], identifying with different components of it. A sense of fairness and recognition of injustice seem to be hardwired into kids - I know it was for me, even as an elementary school kid - and I kept that in mind throughout the creation process.” PeopleKnowsMindDifferentStoriesSeemsKidsAgeSchoolProcessGroupsCreationInjusticeConnectedRecognitionMarchFairnessComponentsIdentifyingElementary School Author:Nate Powell
