Black Schools Matter, especially Afri-centric schools that serve under-privileged black communities. The Barbara A. Sizemore Academy (BASA) is an Afri-centric charter in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago that the Chicago Public School District targeted for closure in November 2015. Little did they know that a small group of 7th and 8th grade filmmakers, and their teacher, were not going to stand for it. Come to see this exciting film of community empowerment, and stay to hear from an excellent panel of experts on the value of culturally connected education.
