I actually remember the first day i drove up to Pomfret & saw the landscape with cows etc. & my uncle turned to me & said- you are going back to Awukuga- the mountains of Ghana where i grew up which looked very much the same as the hilltop of pomfret- so i pretty much felt at home-but most people would not associate such landscapes with Africa. I am very happy to be part of this story & applaud you all for your hard work in telling our stories.

These are some of the feelings I had at Penn Charter but never articulated properly. This looks to be fascinating. Where/when is it showing here?

We can understand on a deep level many of the experiences of the SEED Scholars.

At the SEED School, the assumption is that inner-city students will learn more if they spend the school week living away from home. But can you leave the neighborhood behind?

The Philly outreach workshop is a small private one. The film is not really 'screening' widely yet. We are holding outreach workshops at school communities to get the buzz going and to gather feedback.

NOTE: "Negro" is not an Americanism. The word was derived from the Spanish and Portuguese "negro" during the sixteenth century. By 1587, "neger," a Northern English form had appeared. And it is from "neger" that both the Irish "naygur" and the American English "nigger" were derived. The first appearance of the word "nigger" is found in a poem by Robert Burns, published in 1786.

My friend, a "Negro" is a "nigger." In fact, etymologically speaking, "Negro" was the first "nigger."

Corey. I, Andre Robert Lee, director, writer & producer of The Prep School Negro do not extol the term Negro. I made a movie and as an artist chose a provocative title that is to spark dialogue and thought. It appears to be working very well. I appreciate all of the knowledge you are sharing. Please when it opens widely and you get a chance, see my movie and lets talk about my choice of using the word.

Topher looks a little like Kevin Bacon during his "Footloose" days. Billy would know something about that since it's his favorite movie. .;-)
