The girl simply replied “OK” when Sam explains that they have a right to anywhere they want on the bus. This animation simply involved tilting her head and raising her eye brows as she said “OK.” She has a concerned look implying that she thinks Sam might be exaggerating their predicament.
I I had time to go back into scenes, I would revise her hair style in this scene since I developed a look that seems to be more appealing in later scenes I animated. But like many things in life, I have to accept the choices made at the time. The animation is already on display and I am just having to revise the opening titles a bit. I decided today to incorporate some old film scratches into the opening scenes which adds to the aged look to the animation.
Again, the animation is on display at the Orange County Regional History Center (65 East Central Blvd Orlando FL) from October 3, 2020 to February 14, 2021. The exhibit is about the 1920 Ocoee Massacre in Orange County, Florida, remains the largest incident of voting-day violence in United States history.
Events unfolded on Election Day 1920, when Mose Norman, a black U.S. citizen, attempted to exercise his legal right to vote in Ocoee and was turned away from the polls. That evening, a mob of armed white men came to the home of his friend, July Perry, in an effort to locate Norman. Shooting ensued. Perry was captured and eventually lynched. An unknown number of African American citizens were murdered, and their homes and community were burned to the ground. Most of the black population of Ocoee fled, never to return.
This landmark exhibition by the Orange County Regional History Center will mark the 100-year remembrance of the Ocoee Massacre. The exhibition will explore not only this horrific time in our community’s history but also historical and recent incidents of racism, hatred, and terror, some right here at home.
The content will encourage reflection on a century of social transformation, the power of perspective, and the importance of exercising the right to vote, and will ask what lessons history can inspire for moving forward.
