On December 11th, I showed a few clips of The Silver Rights Movement to a small audience at Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies. The audience included teachers, Durham city members, Duke Administrators and former students.
From the feedback, I can tell there’s still a good amount of work to be done, but I get the sense that the film is moving from being a strictly historical piece to one that is more thematic.
I was really happy to show a longer cut of the film to everyone and get feedback.
Plan is to take these comments, re-edit and have something finished by the end of the New Year…

Right now, I’m working on one feature-length doc, and two short documentaries. I start film school at the University of Southern California in January. So I’m working to finish things up before then.

Duke News recently did a story on the joint Duke-NCCU class that covers Durham’s Black Wall Street. I was enrolled in this class when it was first offered as a Duke only class during the Fall of 2005.
There’s a brief mention of “The Silver Rights Movement” in the article.
