FESTIVAL NEWS
In Honor of Black History Month…
February marks the beginning of Black History Month - an annual celebration that has existed since 1926 which honors African American history, culture, triumphs and injustices. In honor of Black History Month, we invite you to watch the following Festival films: In Children of Birmingham, youth producers from Kids on The Hill who use animation and song to recount the youth who fought in the Civil Rights Movement. Books Not Bars explores how youth of color are being discriminated against in their neighborhoods, in their schools, and in the courts, where an African-American youth is 48 times more likely to be convicted of a drug offense than a white peer. Celebrate the work of African American filmmakers Jerry Henry and Harold Clinton in their respective films I Promise Africa and Lean on Me.Published on February 4, 2005
