DESCRIPTION
While politicians freely voice their opinions and proposals, ordinary Americans
rarely reach the broad public with their concerns and ideas for promoting change
in the world.
This project is dedicated to bringing the voices of 95 people, chosen at random
from all 5 boroughs of New York City, into the public sphere by publishing responses
to the following question: “What’s one thing that you’re concerned
about in the world today and what, if you had the time and the influence, would
you do about it?”
HISTORICAL REFERENCE
Inspired by the past, this project derives its name from the protest of theologian
Martin Luther against the Catholic Church. On October 31, 1517, Luther reportedly
nailed his criticisms to the cathedral door in Wittenberg, Germany. His peaceful
but forceful statement is today still very much in evidence.
YOUR RESPONSE
We invite you to answer this question, using the space below or in conversation
with one of the 95 Voices volunteers.
UNVEILING
A banner displaying the participants and their responses will be made public
at 7 pm, Wednesday, September 1st, on the steps of the New York Public Library
(42nd Street & 5th Avenue, Manhattan).
