I created a video as a counter-narrative on black male students for our High School's Black History Month Celebration in 2014. The joint video featured twenty juniors and seniors from the two neighboring high schools there as a way to counter the negative images of young African-American males in the media. The students affirmed the following in a video highlighting their successes of young black males instead. We were quoted as saying “The negative stories told daily in the media and in our culture about our young African-American men tend to ignore their successes and don't tell the full story about how young Black men are becoming leaders within our community schools. In this video, our students reclaim the narrative of who they are and inspire other students to follow in their footsteps."
