Me! Hope you are doing well. #sschat

I took a class in college about the civil rights movement and we watched a lot of Eyes on the Prize. So powerful to hear from those who did the work and to see video and images from the time.

Eyes on the Prize is epic. I showed some to my 9th grade U.S. history students in the late 90s when I was starting out. They were into it. Had the chance to see Julian Bond in person a few times through work. It was so cool hearing his voice in person (he narrates the series).

Can confirm; I have multiple friends in Illinois who applied to and got into those schools, went to them, realized "Wow, while the school is great but the state is run by horrible people and has terrible infrastructure and policies" and left after graduation.

Just finished this one which I think you will like.

On my to-read list!

Not much play in this keyboard. #HATM Wish I had this movie on right now (have a kid prepping for a medical procedure tomorrow).

My dad and stepmom had HBO early and I saw this movie a few times as a kid. It is in my top 5 all time best movies. One of my favorite scenes is the diner and "Think." #HATM
