The site has been designed around the general idea of providing diversified, nonlinear access to digital audio content. Users can choose from a number of different modes of presentation, including audio essays, a timeline, strike map, and a user-friendly, yet very accurate search engine. Whatever the direction the users take, they should always be able to quickly access the audiovisual content of the site. However, each distinct mode of presentation tells the Sit-Down Strike story from a different perspective. For example, the site map focuses on the location of strike events, while the timeline offers a temporal vantage point.
