“Is America Possible?”
Editorial Design & Identity
The Union Theological Seminary and the On Being Project brought me in to create an elegant identity for a multi-day gathering of civil rights elders and political leaders.
"Is America Possible?" convened at The Riverside Church in celebration of Vincent Harding's life, on the anniversary of the speach he wrote alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, “Beyond Vietnam”
I designed the full identity and event experience: program materials, three large-format typographic quote banners, and supporting ephemera, along with consulting on the broader event design. The identity stayed deliberately grounded — typographic, spare, and elegant, built to hold weight rather than call attention to itself. The banners hung in both the gathering hall and the church's main nave, letting the words of the gathered elders fill the room.
