We are making progress in bringing American Promise‘s filmmakers to campus for a screening.  The tentative date is April 15.  Pencil in the date, and check back here for more information.

The film follows two middle-class African-American boys for 13 years, as they make their way through a prestigious private school.  Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson are the filmmakers and parents of one of the boys.  It has won several awards and will be showing on PBS’s POV program on February 3 (11 PM PST on OPB).  Here is the trailer:
