New Doc Alert..."Black Lights: They Chose to Succeed"

For all my educators and all those interested in the achievement gap that currently exists, here is a documentary that you should be on your radar.

Written and Directed by Karla Manning, Black Lights: They Chose to Succeed features  several students, educators, and community members who offer insight into the academic achievements as well as perceptions of black students in Chicago.  They will tell the stories about their struggles, experiences, and dreams; but most of all, about their will and ambition to overcome the obstacles that have been in their way.
