Youngest marcher (2017, 22 min.), the story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a young civil rights activist: Audrey Faye Hendricks was confident and bold and brave as can be, and hers is the remarkable and inspiring story of one child's role in the Civil Rights Movement. William Still and his freedom stories (2020, 35 min.), the father of the Underground Railroad: With powerful words and artwork, young audiences will be inspired by the thrilling biography of William Still, the Father of the Underground Railroad. Unspeakable (2021, 20 min.), the Tulsa Race massacre: This video traces the history of African Americans in Tulsa's Greenwood district and chronicles the devastation that occurred in 1921 when a white mob attacked the Black community. Above the rim (2020, 26 min.), how Elgin Baylor changed basketball: This is the story of hall-of-famer Elgin Baylor, one of the first professional African-American players and one of America's greatest and most under-recognized athletes.
