Okay, Black History Month is two months away. You should tell your local school and/or school district about Freedom's Song.
Farmers has joined with The Association for the Study of African American Life and History to create a documentary film, Freedom’s Song: 100 years of African-American struggle and triumph, that highlights significant milestones in the history of the African-American experience during the past century. It includes living testimonials designed to put a personal face on the actual historical events featured in the film.
The Freedom’s Song package is free to educators and includes a DVD copy of the film, engaging and thought-provoking lesson plans and an interactive web site that will be continually updated with audio and video content.
Good stuff. By way of proof I got the segment on the Tulsa Race Riot for ya.

Nope. I got it free in Atlanta
Educators get it free for nothin'...just hit the website and ask.
In fact, Maryland is providing a copy for every high school in the state.
Copies were handed out at the reception at Temple the first evening. I posted the Tulsa segment because that's the one they showed that evening.I promised Dr. LaVonne Neil, who was responsible for the lesson plans, I'd promote the documentaries a little bit.
