- Description:
- Molly Hayden was born in 1978 in Belleville, Ill. She comes from a family with diverse political opinions. Hayden lived in Hawaii and Germany before moving to Savannah, Ga., where she lives with her husband and son. Hayden works as a freelance photographer and journalist.
In this interview, Molly Hayden discusses her reasons for deciding to attend the Women's March on Washington on January 21, 2017. She expresses her disapproval of Donald Trump and of the fake news that accompanied his campaign and rise to power. Throughout the interview, Hayden shares ways in which her life and thought processes have been changed by becoming a mother. She talks about her positive experience at the Women's March, including seeing other marchers from Savannah, feeling solidarity with others, and chanting with the crowd. Hayden discusses a photo project that she completed after returning from the march in which she photographed approximately 160 Savannah residents who traveled to Washington to march. She talks about hoping for a global awakening to resist the influence of Donald Trump and his ilk, and describes her fears surrounding the future of the country. Hayden ends the interview by reading a poem she wrote about the march and discussing the meaning of the pussy hats worn by many marchers. - Metadata URL:
