The Editors at Communication Arts honored our Freedom Riders website as the Webpick of the Week. This educational website was nominated for a Webby Award in the Education Category earlier this year. Freedom Riders is a documentary, directed by Stanley Nelson for WGBH and American Experience. The website was designed and produced by Interactive Knowledge. We also wrote much of the original content.
The documentary film “Freedom Riders” is the harrowing yet inspirational story of six months in 1961 that changed America forever. From May until November 1961, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives—and many endured savage beatings and imprisonment—for simply traveling together on buses and trains as they journeyed through the Deep South.
We here at Interactive Knowledge were thrilled to learn that two of our websites have been nominated for Webby Awards! It's an honor to be nominated and it's very rare that a company gets two nominations in one year. We would take time to celebrate, but we're too busy working on new projects.

Interactive Knowledge is working with the producers of American Experience, one of PBS’ longest running series, to create an interactive website for Freedom Riders. This film premiered at Sundance in January 2010 and will have a theatrical release before airing on PBS in January 2011.
