Playing a young Ida B. Wells

In this video below I play the voice of Ida B. Wells an African American journalist, teacher, newspaper editor, and feminist. She was the first African American woman to be a paid correspondent for a mainstream white newspaper. She began an anti-lynching campaign that involved investigative reporting to document the unjustified killings of blacks at the time. The creator and director of the video has submitted it to Fort Worth Indie, Chicago International, Animation Block Party (New York), and Global Impact (D.C.) Film Festivals. I have also been informed that he will be pitching it to major networks this summer as well. The purpose of it and others like it is to create a more conscious awareness of education and how important it is and should be for everyone, especially black people. I hope this gets picked up and the creators behind it can begin filming videos of many other black leaders to be distributed on major networks. Do me a favor and go on to YouTube and like the video for me (click here), I would truly appreciate it and could you possibly add a comment about how this idea is great for educating young people or whatever suits you.
