THE CHILDREN OF BIRMINGHAM
August 22: The Children of Birmingham screens at Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Birmingham, AL: 6:00PM
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute will be screening the Fourth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival short The Children of Birmingham at 6:30pm on Friday August 22nd as part of their Heritage Alive Community of Readers Program.
This program aims to bridge the gap between literacy and parental involvement by instructing families about better reading habits, promoting local parents' belief in their own capabilities as educational mentors, and using books to enhance the time that families spend together. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute strives to achieve this objective by distributing free books, snacks, journals and related bibliographies to local families at the event. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute's Heritage Alive Community of Readers Program certainly represents a worthy cause and we at the Media That Matters Film Festival are happy to help further its impact.
