“Slavery Footprint is an online experience and mobile app that launched on the 149th anniversary of the announcement of the Emanci­pa­tion Proclamation, and can tell you approximately how many slaves have pitched in to make the goods you enjoy on a daily basis.

The issue of forced labor continues to drift in and out of the social con­scious­ness but hasn’t yet successfully stuck in people’s minds. The challenge was to hit people with more hard facts and sustain their attention.”
