Dear Colleagues

Here is a documentary that may interest some colleagues. It is the outcome of a Niles Research Grant from the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences at Virginia Tech for the summer project just completed in the past five weeks. We plan to seek more substantive funding to produce a feature length documentary on this theme in support of CRT.

A  great documentary. An eye opener.
Situates the great Virginia Tech in its true
original, racist historical context. A new genre
of Campus documentaries has been launched!

 I guess you chose the title for strategic reasons
 but as it is, no one will know how relevant 
the subject matter is to the struggle for justice or
institutional racism- or even to Virginia Tech,
unfortunately. I hope you can modify the
present title.

As the director and producer of this documentary 
you have demonstrated your scholarly 
versatility.  As a  film producer and 
videographer  myself,  I know how time 
consuming this  work has been so accept
my hearty congrats for this contribution.

I am a great fan of upper case and capital letters
in all texts  - also for strategic reasons - but I
guess you chose not to go in that direction
for a good reason.

Congrats for a great contribution to our
understanding of American history, campus
History, and the struggle  for Human
Rights, recognition and Identity.

Thanks for the detailed review and for the kind words. Feel free to suggest a better title because we plan to use IE as a pilot to seek funding for a feature on the theme. Maybe we can collaborate.
