Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
Many of you know that I\u2019ve been involved in a documentary film project about Rosenwald Schools for a (very) long time. Several of you have generously supported the non-profit that Jere Snyder and I started (Longleaf Productions) to do this work.<\/p>\n
Now, at long last, we have something to show for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnlocking the Doors of Opportunity \/ The Rosenwald Schools of North Carolina\u201d<\/strong> will be screened at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at the High Point Museum. The address is 1859 East Lexington Avenue.<\/p>\n The film will be introduced by historian Tom Hanchett of Charlotte. He will also moderate a Q&A session after the film.<\/p>\n Lastly, we expect to have some Rosenwald School alumni on hand for this event.<\/p>\n I hope you\u2019ll be able to attend. But if not, the film is slated to air several times on PBS-NC later in February. The first broadcast will be at 10 p.m. on February 23.<\/p>\n Pax, Tom<\/p>\n P.S.: We recently completed a companion film on South Carolina\u2019s Rosenwald School experience, and we are planning a film about Virginia\u2019s Rosenwald Schools.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Friends, Many of you know that I\u2019ve been involved in a documentary film project about Rosenwald Schools for a (very) long time.
