Wide Awakes Grand Procession, Washington Square Park, New York. 2020.
“In 1860, as the United States careened toward civil war, a group of young abolitionists, now long forgotten, launched a move
(...) ment to wake up the country. They were called the Wide Awakes. One hundred and sixty years later, we are once again divided as a nation and once again, it is time for a wake up, a reset, and a reimagining of what is possible. The Wide Awakes of 2020 believe in the evolution of society and the power to radically reimagine the future through creative collaboration. When we collaborate, when we show up with and for each other, then we can create in a way that is a compass pointing toward the future we want to live in! Capes On! Eyes Open! Wide Awake!”
