I have worked for over twenty-five years in education with a focus on at-risk and first-generation college students. My publications include numerous articles on African American school history and on rural life. In 2009, I organized the inaugural conference about African American educational history at UNC Wilmington. With my colleague Dr. Richard T. Newkirk, I present professional development entitled “Lessons from the Rosenwald Schools: Appreciating African American School History and Pedagogy.”My documentary films about historic African American schools have earned awards and were screened at the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s conferences about Rosenwald schools in 2012 and 2015. They have also screened at film festivals, colleges, libraries, and many other venues. In Fall, 2017 I completed SHARECROP and SHARECROP: DELTA COTTON, documentaries that showcase oral history of the South’s “forgotten farmers.” These films have screened at festivals in major cities including London, Atlanta, Detroit. The 2018 National Council for Black Studies conference featured SHARECROP, and I developed a companion teaching guide for the film. The SHARECROP project was made possible by the generous support of the Middle Road Foundation.view less
