Today in Strawberry:  This morning we had a special guest visit.  Carmen Scott, from the office staff, who is also a documentary film maker.  She led the class in a conversation about the subject of her documentary about African American students in schools in Mississippi.  She discussed Brown vs. the Board of Education in 1954, and engaged the students in reading an article about one of the students in her documentary, and the inequity still existing in schools in Mississippi today.  It was an engaging and informative conversation, and great to connect to a film maker during our current project.
