63 Black Harvard Students Share Their Experiences In A Powerful Photo Project
A photo campaign highlighting the faces and voices of black students at Harvard College. "Our voices often go unheard on this campus, our experiences are devalued, our presence is questioned-- this project is our way of speaking back, of claiming this campus, of standing up to say: We are here.
