The digital system structures historical information according to levels of detail and different points of view within a complex, politically charged situation. Characters include people who witnessed and enacted events inciting the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Members of a multi-perspective "chorus" provide commentary. Viewers become like chorus members as they add perspectives to expand the story -- much like wiki users do today.
