- Description:
- Clinton Edminster was born in Bend, Or., and later lived in Alaska and California. In 2009, he moved to Savannah, Ga. to study computer animation. He currently lives in Savannah, where he owns two businesses. On January 21, 2017, millions of people worldwide took part in marches to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. The first protest, which took place in Washington, D.C., was known as the Women's March on Washington and was intended as a response to anti-woman rhetoric and beliefs that were espoused during Trump's campaign. While women's and reproductive rights were at the forefront of marchers' concerns, many also protested the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-science, and other controversial sentiments expressed by the incoming Trump administration.
In this interview, Clinton Edminster discusses his experiences at the Women's March on Washington, which he attended in order to document the participation of marchers from Savannah. He talks about being shocked at Donald Trump's election and making plans to attend the march with friends. Edminster describes driving to Washington, the magnitude of the march, his interactions with other marchers, and other topics. He expresses optimism about the future, and says that the enormous turnout at the Women's March gave him hope. - Metadata URL:
