The Long Arc

This Black History Month, The Market presents: The Long Arc—a conversation that uses technology as a tool to connect the ideas, context, and progress of the past to the realities of today and the possibilities of tomorrow.Through an AI‑powered experience, this event explores the ongoing story of voting and civil rights by placing historical voices and moments in dialogue with contemporary perspectives. By using technology to surface context, patterns, and continuity, we examine how the fight for equity has evolved—and how its legacy continues to shape our democracy and civic engagement.
