- Description:
- Joe Hurley is a Data Services and GIS librarian and a Librarian Assistant Professor in the Georgia State University Library. He works on several interdisciplinary research projects, led the NEH funded Planning Atlanta: A New City in the Making, 1930s-1990s digital project and is currently leading The Sprawling of Atlanta: Visualizing Metropolitan Area Growth through Aerial Imagery and Demographic Data, 1940s to Present digital project. 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, Joe Hurley discusses his childhood and past political activity. He then explains his reasons for attending the Women's March on Washington. He also gives a detailed description of his experience at the march. While he felt the march was overall a positive experience, he explains his fears for the United States in the coming years. - Metadata URL:
