I am proud to have been an Advisory Board member with Journeys in Film since its inception. They share my commitment to foster social and academic growth by turning powerful films into interdisciplinary lessons that enhance core subjects and teach students to distinguish reality from stereotypes. Teaching with such films fosters understanding and empathy for cultural and racial diversity. My hope is that Black filmmakers will continue to represent ‘our’ history in all its complexity and that Journeys in Film will continue to help teachers bring this rich diversity in their classrooms.
