Beyond the Bricks | Raising Educational Awarenes
NATIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN
Produced by Washington Koen Media, Beyond the Bricks is a documentary film project and national community engagement campaign created with the goal of promoting solutions for one of America’s critical problems in education: the consistently low performance of black males in school. The film follows African-American students Shaquiel Ingram and Erick Graham as they struggle to stay on the track in the Newark, NJ public school system.
Editor's note from From Beyond the Bricks: We are very excited to announce the generous support from Open Society Institute's Campaign for Black Male Achievement for the Beyond The Bricks' National Community Engagement Campaign.
CBMA has been supportive of the project all along, and will now partner with WKMP to bring the Town Hall meetings and call to action workshops to communities around the country. The Beyond the Bricks National Community Engagement Tour will go to 10 city 's including Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Jackson, MS, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Oakland, and Philadelphia. We will work with local and national partners to bring together educators, community leaders, policymakers, parents and students to promote positive communication, and to create solution-based action around the problems black male students are facing. Please join us on www.beyondthebricksproject.com for updates on the schedule and look for much more in the coming months!
