We Are Not Afraid to Make History (Part 1)

This film was produced by high school and middle school participants of I SAW! The Experience of Learning in DC's Living Images Beneath My World Summer program in 2011.

The students filmed their National Park Service Ranger-led tour of Georgetown, interviews at the opening of the new African-American Civil War Museum, their lecture from historian Dr. Hari Jones, their bus tour with historian Dr. Carol Gibbs, and a conversation with a descendant of the creators of the Mt. Zion Female Union Band Cemetery. The film ends with students reciting poetry about the experience.
