KEEPIN IT REAL TO REEL...A TEEN'S PERSPECTIVE
Each One Teach One has become the mantra for African-American adults that are
interested in helping our young people fulfill their dreams. The blackfilm.com
crew is dedicated to creating vehicles for film professionals to achieve their
goals and we feel the same way about our youth. During the months of December
2001, January and February 2002, we worked in conjunction with high school
English teacher and Chicago native, Margretta Browne in creating our first ever
High School Editorial Staff. The students were given the freedom to create their
own Editorial Sections and had complete freedom in writing the articles from
their perspective. Each month, we will feature their work for your reading
pleasure. Enjoy!
