I'll always love Vine b/c that was all we really had in protest in the the Fall 2014. There was no Twitter video & no Periscope back then.

Vine offered first-hand, authentic video documentation of protest without the need for news crews and giant cameras. It gave demonstrators a voice that resonated beyond text.
