Engage your students in participatory action research! Whether you’re studying the history of Brown or discussing issues of diversity and racial equality, this multi-media resource is an invaluable teaching tool. Integrating a book and DVD, Echoes of Brown features a performance by a diverse ensemble of youth from suburban and urban schools who speak back to the victories and continuing struggles for justice and democracy in public schools. Echoes weaves youth spoken word and dance with rich video interviews with "elders," including • Arthur Kinoy (1921–2003) • Sonia Sanchez • Judge Jack Weinstein • Roscoe Brown • Esther Lee • Thea and Bailey Jackson • Adam Green.
This rich resource creates a series of echoes on America's long history of yearning, betrayal, victory, and relentless desire among young and old for educational justice.
